The Story's Only Just Started
I spent quite some time digging into Micron, and here is the result. I looked at how it is priced against its own history, put it through four pillars to weigh up its financial health and profitability, checked what insiders and analysts are doing, stacked it against its peers, and finished with a deliberately conservative DCF. In every way it came out looking great, and the numbers speak for themselves.
Growth
Growth is holding up, with revenue up 167.0% over the past year, net income up 710.7% and operating cash flow up 238.4%. Just look at the explosive revenue and net income growth, it only seems to be accelerating → https://stocknest.app/?tab=compare&tickers=MU&metrics=revenue,netIncome,ocf&period=2&growth=yoy
Profitability
Profitability is a real strength, with gross margin of 72.6%, net margin of 55.9%, an OCF margin of 57.0% and ROIC of 44.2%, returns comfortably above its cost of capital.
Financial health
The balance sheet is in good shape, with a current ratio of 3.4×, assets at 4.0× liabilities and debt at 0.1× equity.
Peer comparison
On a TTM basis, operating cash flow went from ~$15B to ~$30B a 100% increase year over year. MU is growing OCF faster than any other semiconductor company at 170% CAGR over the last 2 years - The cheapest of the group → https://stocknest.app/?tab=compare&tickers=GOOGL,AMZN,MSFT,MU&metrics=pocf&period=2
DCF
I ran a deliberately conservative DCF just 20% OCF growth against a conservative terminal P/OCF of 18×. Considering OCF is currently growing at 200% YoY and 100% on a TTM basis , using only 20% projected growth is already a steep haircut. Even so, MU still screens undervalued by 20%+.

Insiders and analysts
Analysts are mostly on side, with 51 of 55 rating it a buy. Price targets run from a low of $155 to a high of $1750, with a median of $1200. At $974 today it trades about 10% below the $1073 average target, so there is room to run. Insiders have been net buyers lately, a nice vote of confidence.
