What are Wall Street analysts saying about Micron Technology stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Micron Technology stock:
- 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We maintain our Samsung’s lower preliminary outlook for 4Q18. Samsung cited excess inventory at its hyperscaler customers and weaker-than-expected demand in smartphones. Samsung also reiterated a similar view of Micron’s that it expects a 2H19 rebound driven by new CPU architectures and launches of new smartphones. Our view is that visibility into the 2H19 remains limited, and based on our industry conversations, excess inventory at hypersacalers will persist for at least another 3-6 months. Moreover, the slowing Chinese economy (exemplified by Apple’s massive miss) makes us cautious on overall demand conditions in the first half. While Micron is trading at historical low P/B and P/E multiples, we could see further downside to the shares if demand conditions worsen." (1/8/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Micron reported mixed Q1 results, wherein earnings exceeded expectations but revenues missed the same. We note that although solid growth in mobile, automotive and industrial market drove revenues for the company, CPU shortages and inventory adjustments with several key customers in the cloud, graphics and enterprise market remained overhangs. Given the weaker demand environment, Micron issued a soft guidance for fiscal second quarter, which makes us apprehensive about its near term performance. However, management anticipates demand to improve in the second half of 2019. The company believes that growing demand for new camera and digital features and the increasing application of artificial intelligence will drive DRAM and NAND content in mobile devices. Moreover, Micron’s focus on improvement in cost structure and increasing the mix of high-value solutions in its portfolio is likely to be a key growth driver." (12/19/2018)
