Nomura Securities reiterates a 'Neutral' on Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) price target of $8.00.

Analyst, Sidney Ho, said, "The May quarter looks to be much tougher than the Street expects. NAND margins are expected to decline 8-10 percentage points. The implied EPS of ($0.25) is worse than our previous estimate of ($0.08). However, we believe many investors will focus on the potential benefits from DRAM consolidation, which will likely play out in the next few months. With the stock already up nearly 40% year-to-date, we would stay on the sideline."

"We are lowering our estimate for FY12 from ($0.45) to ($0.74) and for FY13 estimate from $0.34 to $0.32."
