It can tread water and return to the high-$70s. If there's a PC refresh cycle this year, MU won't stay this long. But some now and more in the high-$70s.

PARTIAL BUY

They report Wednesday. This has a habit of shares running up till reporting, then it drops after reporting. If you can handle this volatility, buy some before, then after the report. Their prospects are directly tied to a winder economic expansion. Also, there's a new refresh cycle coming in PC sales.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MU, one of the world's largest producers of computer memory chips, as a TOP PICK.  Although the sector is in a cyclical slow down, the company continues to build cash reserves, buy back stock and retire its debt.  It trades at under 2x book.  We continue to recommend a stop at $52, looking to achieve $75 -- 17% potential upside.  Yield 0.7%  

(Analysts’ price target is $74.79)
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Probably pretty good upside. Forming a cup and has broken out of the neckline. Because the sector's overbought, he wouldn't be surprised if it pulled back to the neckline, which would be a good place to buy. Great-looking chart.

PAST TOP PICK

Our PAST TOP PICK with MU is progressing well.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $45) to $52 at this time.  

BUY
Forecast for semis

The decline in demand for PCs is unsustainable, and we've moved past the phase of cheap computes for our homes during Covid. If Samsung indeed cuts production, there will be a Q3 upside surprise in computers and semis. Whenever the semis cycle turns positive, Micron goes from the worst performer to the best. Buy this now.

BUY

Both Samsung and Micron are pulling back in production, so history tells us we are within two quarters before semis bottom in pricing. Can't tell the exact timing, but you need to start buying Micron NOW, which is why shares jumped today even after a lousy quarter. Semis are a boom and bust business with gluts and shortages. Highly cyclical.

BUY

They report Tuesday. This semi company has been down for ages because of an inventory glut. If the CEO announces the glut is over, shares will hit $80.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 30/22, Down 27%)

His thesis of a rebound broke. Sales have slowed. Samsung pushing to grab market share.

WAIT
It needs to see demand rise for chips used in cell phones and PCs. Wait several months before this is safe, after this glut in chips ends. Then it will bounce back hard. This quarter will be weak and suffer guide-downs. Starting buying in mid-year.
