Overview
- DA Davidson initiated Micron with a Buy rating and a $1,000 price target, arguing AI demand is creating a longer-than-usual memory upcycle and a higher ceiling for prices.
- Other firms turned more positive this week, with TD Cowen lifting its target to $660, Melius starting at $700, and UBS raising to $535, signaling a broader bullish shift.
- Wall Street’s average target still sits in the mid-$500s, with forecasts spanning from roughly $249 to $1,000, highlighting sharp disagreement on how much upside remains.
- Micron reported fiscal Q2 revenue of about $23.9 billion and guided Q3 to roughly $33.5 billion, reinforcing near-term growth expectations from data center demand.
- Optimism centers on high‑bandwidth memory, or HBM, which feeds AI chips, with third‑party estimates pointing to heavy data‑center use in 2026 and projecting sizable share for Micron, though those market-share forecasts are still developing.
