Micron: The Competition Has A Better Price
Seeking Alpha • • business
Key Points:
- Micron Technology (MU) has been downgraded to a Hold rating due to its stretched valuation and increasing competition, despite improvements from strategic customer agreements.
- The recent earnings growth for MU is primarily driven by price increases rather than volume growth, raising concerns about the sustainability of its earnings if pricing weakens.
- Competitors SK hynix and Samsung present more attractive investment opportunities with better capital return programs and significantly lower valuation multiples.
- Additional risks to Micron’s outlook include patent litigation, expansion of Chinese NAND/DRAM supply, and slowing growth in memory prices.
