5. Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU)

On March 31, Citi analyst Atif Malik reiterated a Buy rating on Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) while cutting the firm’s price target on the shares. He lowered the firm’s price target on the stock from $512.05 to $425. His adjusted price target reflects an additional 25.8% upside from the current levels, which emphasizes his confidence in the company’s memory pricing upcycle.

The analyst said that the growing demand for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and enterprise storage, especially driven by AI data centers, is creating a long-term growth trend similar to the big tech booms in the 1990s. He expects DRAM prices to go up 171% year-over-year and NAND prices to rise 127% in 2026. This price increase will boost MU’s margins.

According to the report, the enterprise solid-state drives (eSSDs) are in very high demand; however,  supply is limited since bringing on new capacity requires both CapEx and time.  This gives Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) strong pricing power.

Citi analysts commented:

That said, Micron and its memory peers have begun negotiations with the hyperscalers on 3-5 year strategic or long-term agreements to lock in base volumes, prepayments, and adjustments to quarterly pricing based on market conditions, which should provide support to contract prices, in our view.

Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) develops memory and storage solutions for smartphones, cloud servers, automotive, and consumer devices.
