Jefferies Positive on Micron Technology (MU) as Wafer Prices Stabilize

Analysts at Jefferies are positive for Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU), as they see stabilization in DRAM prices and favorable conditions for NAND. They think this will lead to margin expansion.

"NAND Contract Prices increased by 17% QTD, and we expect prices to remain favorable unless substantial new wafer capacity is added. NAND Spot Prices increased by 33% QTD," noted analyst Sundeep Bajikar.

"DRAM Spot Prices shot up 21% in the last two weeks, and are now tracking up ~10% YTD. Our checks indicate Server and Mobile DRAM demand remains robust, while PC-DRAM demand is weak. We have a positive view of DRAM supply fundamentals over the next 6-to-12 months, and expect DRAM prices to improve structurally" added Bajikar
