Micron Technology Reaches New 52-Week High
Micron shares gained more than 4.405 percent Wednesday morning, hitting a new 52-week high of $30.81.
analyst Simon Dong-je Woo upgraded the rating on Micron Technology from Underperform to Buy, and raised the price target from $22.00 to $40.00.
Woo commented, "The stock has already moved up strongly (up 33% YTD) but we think further upside will occur,In our view, key catalysts are solid chip pricing environment (tight supply) and cost competitiveness. Our EPS revisions for FY15-16E are c.50% on average at higher/lower ASP/cost. We also expect dividend payment from FY15-end. Lower cyclical risk and higher shareholder return lead to bigger EVA (WACC down vs ROE up); clearly a different cycle."
J. Pitzer from
Credit Suisse substantially raised the price target on Micron from $30.00 to $50.00 on Wednesday. Pitzer remarked, "Yesterday's intra-day announcement by Oracle of a soon to be available In-Memory option for its 12C Database underscores, highlights, punctuates, and screams from the top of the highest mountain our UBER BULLISH view on ENTERPRISE DEMAND."
