Micron Technology is rated a strong buy due to robust demand from AI applications, supply constraints, and outstanding Q3 financial performance. The company reported a nearly 75% sequential revenue increase to $41.5 billion, with gross margins at 85% and operating margins at 81%, indicating strong pricing power.
