Needham Maintains Their Hold Rating on Micron (MU)


Needham analyst Rajvindra Gill maintained a Hold rating on Micron (MU) today. The company’s shares opened today at $41.70.

Gill observed:

“Micron posted solid qrt., but guided lower given the unfavorable pricing environment. Despite a 21% drop in revenue Y/Y, inventory increased significantly with days of inv. rising from 107 to 134. Despite NAND and DRAM pricing being softer than expected in 1H19, MU expects a sharp snapback in 2H19, particularly in DRAM. We are encouraged by MU’s decision to cut NAND and DRAM output by 5% in FY19. However, we remain on the sidelines as we believe the recent run-up in the shares is already discounting a significant snapback in 2H19.”

According to TipRanks.com, Gill is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 10.4% and a 55.2% success rate. Gill covers the Consumer Goods sector, focusing on stocks such as Sequans Communications S A, Smart Global Holdings Inc, and Everspin Technologies Inc.
