Gleacher & Co. reiterates a 'Buy' on Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU), PT $14.

Gleacher analyst, Doug Freedman, said, "MU stock has been under pressure since late April, surrendering 28% of its market cap due mainly to Rambus (Nasdaq: RMBS) concerns...We believe the recent weakness is a buying opportunity as we see a scenario where potential damages could be mitigated through the appeals process (tried and true in history), and believe these damages will be largely, if not completely, absorbed by off-balance sheet accruals (with potential bonus-back)."

"We believe MU fundamentals have turned a corner as MU's market is becoming more rational. We now foresee a more stable DRAM margin environment in the near- to medium-term driven by abating DRAM pricing pressures (particularly on DDR3) as cost efficiencies improve (42nm cross likely in the May quarter, solid contributions from Inotera on MU)."
