Movement Alert|Micron Technology Rises 3.74% in Pre-Market Trading, BofA Reaffirms Buy Rating Calling Semiconductor Pullback a Healthy Correction

Market Focus07-09

On July 9, Micron Technology rose 3.74% in pre-market trading, trading at 988.64 USD/share, with turnover of approximately $166 million.

On the news front, Bank of America issued its latest report characterizing the recent semiconductor sector pullback as a \"healthy correction\" rather than a trend reversal, reaffirming its \"Buy\" rating on Micron Technology with a target price of $1,550. The report noted that storage chips currently trade at only 10x earnings, which BofA considers severely undervalued. Previously, Micron and SanDisk had declined over 20% from recent highs, technically entering bear market territory. Following consecutive sessions of sharp declines, bargain-hunting demand emerged, and the storage sector showed signs of stabilization.

In the options market, institutional investors were observed selling large volumes of far-dated out-of-the-money put options totaling $9.45 million, signaling confidence that the stock will maintain elevated levels. The broader chip sector also rallied in pre-market trading, with Intel up over 3% and Marvell Technology up over 3%.
