Micron stock up 225% YTD, trades at 5x earnings with a buy rating and $987 price target.

Micron Technology's stock has surged 222% this year but still trades at a modest 5 times forward earnings, reflecting strong demand locked in through customer agreements and robust earnings growth. Despite a recent pullback and cyclical risks in the memory sector, analysts remain bullish with a 24/7 Wall St. price target of $987.56, citing committed shipments and new product launches with NVIDIA as growth drivers. Risks include potential Chinese competition and market cyclicality, but current valuations suggest the reward outweighs the risk for investors.

Micron Technology trades at USD 942.55 on Pluang as of Oct 29, 2026 23:51 WIB, down 4.14% in the last day. Its market cap stands at $1.11 trillion, reflecting its significant size in the technology sector.
