Analyst Prediction and Projections
Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann maintained a Buy rating and set a price target of $140 for Micron Technology Inc (MU).
Mosesmann anticipates Micron to surpass expectations on Wednesday, March 20, driven by the soaring demand in the AI sector, alongside a recovery in broader markets by the second half of 2024 due to the industry’s cautious supply memory approach.
The escalating demand for memory products has positioned the industry in the midst of its most substantial memory cycle, a narrative that will be emphasized further during Nvidia Corp’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC). Mosesmann highlighted the pivotal role of Micron’s DRAM content and high-performance HBM in scaling AI compute platforms.
Favorable Market Position
A standout theme for Micron is the advancement in HBM3E, offering unparalleled performance and efficiency specifications, leading to a considerable increase in market share. Mosesmann underlined how Micron’s HBM3E is carving out its space in exclusive areas of new accelerator product launches.
Mosesmann continues to back Micron as his top pick in the current memory cycle, which he expects to be historic in scale, aligning with his profound outlook on the Mother of All Cycles (MOAC).
