Although the company noted that consumer-oriented markets were weaker in the near term, Micron laid out expectations for a return to growth in the second half of its fiscal year.
Goldman Sachs Reiterates Buy: Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">reiterated Buy</a> following the print, but cut the price target from $145 to $128.
The analyst acknowledged that he was wrong on Micron over the past six months and cut estimates accordingly. However, Hari expects strength in High-Bandwidth Memory and resiliency in server DRAM to more than offset weakness in other areas moving forward. 
&#8220;We see the stock's recent pullback, if anything, as an opportunity to add to positions as we continue to envision a) growth in AI compute &#8230; initially in the core Data Center but ultimately at the Edge, b) market share gains for Micron in the high-margin HBM and eSSD markets, and c) supply-side discipline on the part of Micron and its peers,&#8221; the Goldman analyst said.
Wedbush Maintains Outperform: Wedbush analyst Matt Bryson maintained Micron with an Outperform and lowered the price target from $140 to $125
The Wedbush analyst believes demand headwinds due to Blackwell delays slowing AI server installations and customers moderating pricing will be short-lived. Bryson noted that he believes demand is set to improve in the second quarter. 
&#8220;While MU&#8217;s FQ2 outlook is clearly disappointing, we see many of the factors weighing on MU&#8217;s guidance as short-term in nature,&#8221; the analyst said.
Bryson&#8217;s new target is based on a price-to-earnings multiple of 9x applied to the firm&#8217;s fiscal year 2026 estimates.

Rosenblatt Reiterates Buy: Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann reiterated Micron with a Buy rating and maintained a Street-high price target of $250, despite acknowledging that the company&#8217;s near-term outlook was &#8220;significantly below&#8221; the firm&#8217;s expectations.
&#8220;We are buyers of MU shares on the likely reset today, which is driven by the more non-strategic storage area and NAND,&#8221; Mosesmann said. 
The Rosenblatt analyst expects Micron to continue to gain share in the High-Bandwidth Memory segment as power efficiency becomes increasingly important. 
Mosesmann&#8217;s Street-high price target is based on a mid-teens price-to-earnings multiple on fiscal year 2026 earnings estimates of $18 per share. 
BofA Downgrades To Neutral: BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya took the most negative view of Micron&#8217;s earnings, downgrading shares from Buy to Neutral and lowering the price target from $125 to $110.
&#8220;We were below consensus heading into MU&#8217;s FQ1 (Nov) results, but are reducing estimates again as GM expected to stay weak in Q2 and even Q3,&#8221; Arya said. 
Although the analyst highlighted strong data center and High-Bandwidth Memory trends, he&#8217;s concerned that weakness in PC and phone markets will continue to put pressure on memory pricing. 
The BofA analyst lowered fiscal year 2025 estimates by 5% and fiscal year 2026 estimates by 11%, and arrived at a new price target of $110 by putting a 2x multiple on 2026 price-to-book estimates. 
MU Price Action: Micron shares were down 16.50% at $86.76 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The day after a volatile Federal Reserve meeting, Wall Street grappled with the stark reality of Fed Chair <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jerome-powell">Jerome Powell</a>&#8216;s cautious tone on cutting interest rates in 2024. The message left investors weighing the impact of higher-for-longer interest rates amid<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42585715/us-gdp-upwardly-revised-to-31-in-q3-jobless-claims-drop-more-than-expected-treasury-yields-hit-7-month-highs"> a still-resilient economy.</a>
Despite the hawkish undertones, stocks managed to stabilize, with major indices posting modest gains as dip-buyers emerged.
The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.5%, recovering from a steep 3% selloff on Wednesday—its worst one-day drop since September 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4%, attempting to break a staggering 10-day losing streak, its longest since 1974, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 edged 0.3% higher. 
While equities regained some ground, market conviction remains tepid as investors brace for Friday's release of the November inflation report, a critical data point for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s future policy decisions. The report could either reaffirm the Fed's hawkish stance or inject hope for an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42598354/wall-street-pins-hopes-on-fridays-crucial-fed-inflation-report-yet-a-miracle-is-needed-to-shift-the-narrative">lower-than-expected data.</a>
Thursday's economic data continued to underscore the resilience of the U.S. economy. Third-quarter GDP growth was upwardly revised from 2.8% to 3.1%, amid strong consumer spending. Weekly jobless claims fell to 220,000 last week, below forecasts of 230,000, signaling a still-tight labor market.
The bond market extended its selloff, with longer-dated Treasuries taking the biggest hit. Fixed-income investors remain under pressure, exacerbated by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42594797/trump-wants-to-get-rid-of-the-debt-ceiling-30-year-treasury-bonds-fall-to-2024-lows-stocks-cut-gains">recent comments from Donald Trump,</a> who floated the idea of eliminating the U.S. debt ceiling entirely—a development that could upend Treasury market dynamics.
In currency markets, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) rose 0.2%, hitting its highest level since November 2022, supported by robust economic data.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained flat at $100,000, following Wednesday&#8217;s 5.6% plunge.

US Stocks Higher, Micron Reports Downbeat Sales

Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) shares are trading lower Thursday after the company reported mixed earnings results and issued weak guidance for the current quarter. Multiple analysts also lowered price targets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42576985/lamb-weston-posts-weak-q2-results-joins-micron-lennar-and-other-big-stocks-moving-lower-in-thursdays-pre-market-session">following the print</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $8.71 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a>&nbsp;of $8.72 billion</li>

"While consumer-oriented markets are weaker in the near term, we anticipate a return to growth in the second half of our fiscal year. We continue to gain share in the highest margin and strategically important parts of the market and are exceptionally well positioned to leverage AI-driven growth to create substantial value for all stakeholders."
Micron&#8217;s board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.115 per share, payable on Jan. 15 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 30.
