UBS Maintains Buy on Micron as DRAM, NAND Prices Climb
MU•UBS maintained its 'buy' rating on Micron Technology and cited rising DRAM and NAND spot prices driving an improved revenue outlook for Q3. Micron shares surged 2.5% on the reaffirmation, underlining investor confidence in its memory market positioning.
1. UBS Reaffirms Buy Rating
UBS retained its buy rating on Micron Technology, highlighting improved pricing power in both DRAM and NAND segments. The firm noted that tighter supply balances and stronger spot prices should boost revenue visibility and support margin expansion in the current quarter.
2. Memory Price Increases
Wholesale DRAM spot prices have climbed since mid-June, while NAND flash rates also rose, tightening the memory market. These price gains underpin UBS’s thesis of a recovery in Micron’s end-market demand and profitability.
