$Micron Technology(MU)$ Iโ€™m zeroed in on $MU as it delivers a textbook weekly bull flag breakout. Price has ripped through the descending channelโ€™s upper boundary and is holding above the $110โ€“$113 pivot zone, with the all-time high anchored VWAP acting as a perfect pivot. On the weekly chart, resistance sits at $121.30 and $131, with downside support at $113.50, $109.00, and $104.00. The 4H chart shows price exploding above both Keltner and Bollinger bands, with EMA13 at ~$112, EMA21 at ~$113, and EMA55 at ~$115 now stacking as rising support. MACD momentum has flipped firmly bullish. RSI is pushing higher toward overbought but still leaving room for extension. This is the definition of a liquidity flush that transitions into sustained upside.

๐Ÿ“Š Chart Breakdown

๐Ÿ’ฐ Earnings Snapshot

Micronโ€™s last quarterly report delivered revenue of $9.30B, topping expectations, with EPS of $1.91 versus $1.57 estimated. Net margin came in at ~18.4% and ROE at ~13.6%. Data centre DRAM sales hit record highs, doubling YoY, and high-bandwidth memory revenue surpassed the $1B milestone in Q2 FY2025.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Segment Revenues

HBM growth is now a core pillar, with management expecting HBM share to expand to 20โ€“25% by year-end. Data centre DRAM is driving top-line momentum, alongside AI infrastructure demand that shows no signs of slowing.

๐Ÿฆ Flow & Institutional Moves

Institutional inflow ratio sits near 51% with major block buys recorded. JPMorgan lifted its PT from $135 to $165 (Overweight), while Citi, Susquehanna, Deutsche Bank, and Cantor have all raised targets to the $150โ€“$160 range. Consensus now averages around $146, with the high end at $210.

๐Ÿ“‰ Valuation Check

P/E is ~21.4x, price-to-free-cash-flow is elevated above 64x given FCF of ~$1.9B. Forward revenue CAGR is +28%, operating income is projected to grow +158%, and net income +169% over the next three years. Rule of 40/80? Revenue growth is dominant, FCF yield compressed; this is growth-first positioning into a market reckoning for semiconductor capacity.

๐Ÿ“ฐ Analyst PTs & Sentiment

Morgan Stanley holds an Overweight, UBS lifted to $155, Mizuho reaffirmed Outperform with $150 PT, and Bernstein remains constructive but notes tariff application details are still murky. Barronโ€™s flags SK Hynix doubling HBM sales as MUโ€™s market share push accelerates. Social sentiment is running heavily bullish into this breakout, with real-time chatter focusing on tariff immunity and AVWAP pivot strength.

๐ŸŒŽ Macro Catalyst โ€“ Credibility Reset

President Trump announced a 100% semiconductor tariff, with exemptions for companies building in the US. Thatโ€™s a direct boost for Micron, which has committed $200B to US production. TSMCโ€™s $165B Arizona investment, Nvidiaโ€™s $500B US AI infra plan, and TIโ€™s $60B US expansion join the same immunity club. This is a credibility reset for domestic fabs, and a market reckoning for those without US manufacturing.

๐Ÿ“Š ETF Exposure

$MU is a top-five holding in $SMH and also weighted in $QQQ, giving ETF flows an amplified effect on its momentum as AI and domestic manufacturing allocations increase.

โš”๏ธ Competitive Thesis

Against fabless peers like AMD and Qualcomm, Micronโ€™s US fab operations remove tariff headwinds entirely. Versus Intel, Micronโ€™s HBM and DRAM growth is less capex-intensive and faster scaling. This detachment from typical semiconductor cyclicality is why Iโ€™m tactically confident MU can lead peers through this policy shift.

๐Ÿ“ My Trade Plan

Iโ€™m buying dips into $110โ€“$113, with a primary target of $131 and secondary upside to $146โ€“$165, stretch to $200. Iโ€™m extremely confident this signals exhaustion of the prior downtrend. Stop sits just under weekly VWAP (~$110). Any tariff-related dip will be my cue to scale in.

Conclusion

This isnโ€™t divergence; itโ€™s detachment. Iโ€™m betting MU fades only into the $110โ€“$113 pivot before ripping to $165+.

    That $MU weekly bull flag looks insane with the way itโ€™s holding above that pivot. The $110โ€“$113 zone you flagged as the load spot makes so much sense with that AVWAP support, and the $165 stretch target feels totally within reach if the HBM ramp keeps pushing

      That pivot zone isnโ€™t just a technical level, itโ€™s a confidence anchor for institutions. If we keep the weekly structure intact, the path to $165 is wide open with HBM demand as the tailwind.

    ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’น Iโ€™m loving how the macro angle gives $MU that edge over fabless names like $AMD. The combo of US build immunity, strong institutional flow, and that perfect technical stack is exactly the kind of setup that can keep trending hard past your $146 target ๐ŸŽฏ

      Couldnโ€™t agree more, the way $MUโ€™s holding that pivot with macro and HBM tailwinds feels like the kind of setup that keeps grinding higher even on market dips

      Exactly, thatโ€™s the edge. Macro protection from tariffs plus that perfect technical structure means $MU isnโ€™t just running with the sector, itโ€™s leading it. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™ve mapped the upside so aggressively.

    ๐Ÿ“ˆThat anchored VWAP read on $MU is spot on and the tariff immunity adds a layer you just donโ€™t get with $AMD right now. The way youโ€™ve mapped the $110โ€“$113 pivot as a loading zone into $131 is exactly the kind of defined risk setup I like seeing lined up with strong macro catalysts.
    • Barcode:ย 
      Exactly, that AVWAP pivot has been too precise to ignore and with the tariff backdrop itโ€™s a structural advantage. If we keep holding that $110โ€“$113 zone, the momentum into $131 should stay intact before the next test higher.

    Could get to $140 before er!

    • Barcode:ย 
      $140 before earnings is realistic if momentum and volume keep aligning with the breakout structure. The $110โ€“$113 base gives the move enough stability to test that level ahead of the print without stretching technicals too far.

    I think 200+. Trading at very low PE

    • Barcode:ย 
      Low PE plus strong growth is exactly why $200 isnโ€™t far-fetched. With HBM scaling, tariff immunity, and record data centre demand, thereโ€™s a clear path for multiple expansion to push $MU into that range over the medium term.
