Micron stock analysis

  • To invest in Micron, one has to understand the industry’s cycle.
  • A PE ratio of 2.5, doesn’t mean much as it shows the past, not the future.
  • It is better to look at book value, the actual value of the owned PP&E, ROIC, industry cycles, Micron’s moat and the competition.

The fact that Micron Technology (MU) is one of the most followed and owned stocks is intriguing by itself. To invest in MU one should understand the semiconductor industry properly to take advantage of its inherent cycles. A look at MU’s stock chart shows how investors clearly don’t understand the memory industry cycle as periods of market exuberance are quickly replaced by sheer depression.
