Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) price target of $11.00.

Analyst, Sundeep Bajikar, said, "Micron announced its acquisition of Elipda, and we are buyers of MU stock, as: 1) near term, we expect increased coordination between Micron and Elpida to enable Micron's share gains in specialty DRAM and embedded NAND, and 2) longer term, we expect scale benefits to translate into higher margins for the combined entity. We also expect higher visibility into the acquisition to allay investor concerns and drive multiple expansion for MU."
