As STX Surges 17% in a Month, MU’s Story Stands Out
- MU demonstrates higher revenue growth with 36.6% last quarter and 58.2% over the last 12 months, compared to STX’s 30.5% and 36.3% respectively.
- MU’s margin for the last 12 months stands at 22.4%, exceeding STX’s 19.3%.
- With a slightly lower valuation of 18.4 times EBIT, MU offers a more attractive investment opportunity than STX.
That is one way to look at stocks. Trefis High Quality Portfolio evaluates much more, and is designed to reduce stock-specific risk while giving upside exposure
