Why Deutsche Bank Is Upbeat About MU Stock
Following recent meetings with Micron management, Weathers said AI is “fundamentally changing” the memory industry. She noted that memory chips are becoming increasingly important for improving AI performance and supporting growing AI workloads.
The analyst also said falling AI costs are driving wider adoption across both cloud and edge computing, keeping demand for Micron’s high-bandwidth memory (HBM) products strong.
Interestingly, Weathers ranks No. 278 out of more than 12,200 analysts ranked on TipRanks. She has a success rate of 78%, with an average return per rating of 75.90% over a one-year period.
Is MU Stock a Good Buy Right Now?
Even after Micron’s massive rally, Wall Street remains bullish as tight supply and growing AI spending continue to support the company’s outlook. The average MU stock price target of $581.89 indicates a downside risk of 11.5% from current levels.
