Micron Technology Stock Set To Extend Its Rally?

Micron Technology stock (NASDAQ: MU) is up 12% in just one month (21 trading days), completely outperforming the S&P 500 which was up around 7%. If you look at the change over the last five and ten days, too, the stock has returned 3.2% and 7.1%, respectively, thus having outperformed the market on both occasions. Micron reported strong full-year 2021 earnings at the end of September (Micron’s fiscal year ends in August), with revenue jumping to $27.7 billion from $21.4 billion in FY ’20, driven almost exclusively by a $5.5 billion rise in DRAM sales, which stood at $20 billion, making up approximately 72% of the company’s sales. With COGS and other operating expenses in check, operating income more than doubled to $6.28 billion in FY ’21. Combined with a drop in the effective tax rate, this helped drive Micron’s EPS to $5.23 from $2.42 over this period.
