Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) has experienced a remarkable turnaround, leading to an upgrade from a sell to a neutral rating. The company's Q2 revenue surged 196% year-over-year, reaching $23.9 billion, while gross margins soared to 75%. This growth is largely attributed to the increasing demand for AI technologies, which is expected to continue driving revenue and margin expansion. Micron's management has indicated that the tight supply of DRAM and NAND chips is likely to persist beyond 2026. However, they also caution that the eventual ramp-up in supply and the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may pressure margins in the future. Despite trading at under 4x projected earnings for FY27, the historical cyclicality of Micron tempers optimism regarding its potential upside.
