MU Tests 52-Week High: Bullish Momentum Aims for $290+
Latest Close Data:
MU closed at $286.68 on Dec 25, surging +3.77% (+$10.41). The stock is just $2.62 below its intraday 52-week high of $289.30.
Core Market Drivers:
Strong demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) in AI applications continues to be the primary tailwind.
Recent positive analyst sentiment, with multiple firms reiterating or raising price targets ahead of the next earnings cycle, fueled the rally.
Technical Analysis:
The surge came on 18.59M shares (Volume Ratio 0.78), slightly below average but sufficient for the move.
RSI(6) at 78.2 indicates overbought conditions in the short term, signaling potential for a brief consolidation.
MACD (12.09, 8.39, 7.40) shows a widening positive gap and histogram expansion, confirming strong bullish momentum.
Key Price Levels:
Immediate Pivot: $287.38 (Previous resistance, now a key test).
Strong Resistance: $289.30 (52-week high).
Primary Support: $277.25 (Today's low).
Valuation Perspective:
Forward P/E of 8.59 (as of Dec 24) is compelling and sits well below its historical average of -2.03, reflecting a significant discount despite the cyclical upswing.
The P/S ratio of 7.63 remains elevated but justified by growth expectations.
Analyst Targets:
40 analysts have an average price target of $289.04, with a high of $500. The consensus is overwhelmingly bullish, with 41 "Strong Buy/Buy" ratings vs. only 4 "Hold/Underperform".
Weekly Outlook:
Expect consolidation near the $287-$290 resistance zone in the coming week.
A successful break and close above $290 could target the $300 psychological level. A pullback should find initial support at $277-$280. Monitor RSI for a cooldown from overbought territory.
