Bank of America issued a notable price-target reset on Micron Technology (MU), described as a strong revision — though the specific new target figure was not disclosed in the source. The move comes against a backdrop of Micron's fiscal year 2025 financials showing $37.4B in revenue, up nearly 49% year-over-year, with gross margins of 39.8% and diluted EPS of $7.59, reflecting a sharp recovery cycle in DRAM and NAND pricing.
The timing matters because Micron sits at the intersection of the AI memory buildout — its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) ramp has been a key bull thesis — and a cyclical memory market that has historically been prone to violent reversals. A BofA target reset, if upward, adds weight to the growing analyst consensus that the current upcycle has more legs; if downward, it would be a rare dissenting voice against a broadly constructive Wall Street view.
The enrichment data is genuinely supportive of the underlying business: nearly 49% top-line growth and gross margins approaching 40% are not typical mid-cycle numbers — they suggest pricing power and demand depth. The question the market is now asking is whether HBM demand from AI accelerator builds can sustain this trajectory into 2026, or whether a NAND/DRAM inventory correction is forming in the background.
What to watch: Micron's next earnings print (FY Q4, expected late June/early July), any guidance update on HBM allocation to hyperscalers, and whether other sell-side desks follow BofA's lead in the coming days. A cluster of upward revisions would confirm a new consensus range; a lone revision in either direction carries less weight.
