Micron Technology (MU) stock traded down by 10.6% in the afternoon session following the release of its second-quarter earnings results. The company reported that adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow were below analysts’ expectations, although sales slightly beat expectations. The revenue outlook for the next quarter was in line with expectations. The market reaction indicated that expectations were high, especially given the company’s exposure to the AI market. Sales in the DRAM business, which was expected to benefit from AI, fell below Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, the results were mixed.
Stock market reactions can often be exaggerated, presenting potential opportunities to buy quality stocks at a lower price. As Micron Technology’s shares exhibit volatility, big price drops like this one are rare but significant. The recent positive news for the company came 9 days ago, when Bank of America analyst added Micron to its US 1 List and raised the price target. The analyst noted the potential growth in the AI market and how manufacturers of compute and memory chips would benefit.
Despite being up 61.8% year-to-date, Micron Technology’s stock is still trading 13.3% below its 52-week high. Investors who bought shares five years ago have seen a significant return on their investment. Additionally, when a company is generating excess cash, buying back shares can be a favorable move if the price is right.
