Wedbush upgraded Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) to Outperform with a price target raised from $7 to $8.

Wedbush analyst says, "...we believe the worst of times for the company is likely in the rear view mirror. We think DRAM, which has been the biggest drag on Micron’s profitability, has finally reached a bottom here in FQ2 (Feb) likely returning to profitability in FQ3 (May), driven by stable DRAM prices and increasing unit demand trends as the hard disk drive (HDD) industry begins to recover from the impact of the Thailand floods. We think with the DRAM market at a trough, considerable tailwinds for NAND (i.e. SSDs, smartphones, and tablets) demand in 2012, and the stock trading at 0.7x tangible book value, that the risk/reward here is compelling and recommend investors buy shares of Micron."
