To The Moon

It came as a “surprise” that China has decided to ban $Micron Technology(MU)$ chips from being imported into China, citing the “US often used alibi” of “national security” as the reason. This came about after a security review conducted by the Cyberspace Administration of China. The ban is on operators of “critical information infrastructure” in China from buying products from the US chip giant. China’s Top Semiconductor Chip Supplier: $Intel(INTC)$ Samsung SK Hynix Micron Technology - it is the 4th largest supplier of chips to the Chinese market. $Qualcomm(QCOM)$ What Is Unknown? With the announcement coming out of the blue, there are still many unknows: Duration of ban? Availability of alternative supplier/s. Response from US government. Doubtful response will be forthcoming as the Biden admin will be too “busy” negotiating US Debt Limit crisis. LOL! Financial / Earnings Impact On Micron Technology: It is without a doubt that Micron Technology is the scapegoat caught in the line of fire. However the same could be said about US massive ban on technology firm Huawei as well rght! With the ban enforced, its impact on this chip maker’s earnings will definitely be impacted. Q2 2023 quarterly earnings reported in Mar 2023 Looking at Micron Technology’s Q2 2023 - Top line & Bottom line. Both top line and bottom line are in the “red”. Doesn’t require much imagination on how going forward, Micron’s earnings will be further impacted. In its quarterly earnings report, there is no breakdown of business by countries or regions. Hence I will not be able to accurately forecast the exact financial impact. As it is the Top 4th supplier of chips to China, it is not unreasonable to estimate a -12% to -18% financial impact to Micron’s future earnings. In conclusion, I think Micron Technology’s stock price will continue to slide in the foreseeable future. Stock Price Will Stop Falling When: China lifts the ban on sale of Micron chips to the mainland. Micron is able to find a new customer whose order-volume could cover or eclipse China’s order-volume. Do you think Micron Technology stock price will continue to fall? Do you think Micron Technology will be able to find a new customer to cover the sales void left by China?
