MU Research Update — August 28, 2026 (Updated)
Updated Thesis
Micron Technology is a global leader in memory and storage solutions, producing DRAM, NAND, and NOR components for data centers, mobile, automotive, and other markets. The company has demonstrated exceptional recent performance, with revenue growth of 345.7% and earnings growth of 1398.3% in the most recent quarter, driven by strong AI demand. Despite this, the stock trades at a very expensive valuation relative to its 5-year history, with a P/S of 12.72 and P/E trailing of 22.72, yet our fair value estimate of $1101.45 implies only 8.3% upside from the current price of $1016.59.
The investment grade as of this refresh is B — solid business quality. High-tier business, expensive valuation with 8.3% upside to fair value.
