Micron Technology (MU) has been added to Hedgeye's active short list, with the firm advising investors to lock in gains after a strong run. Hedgeye analyst Felix Wang believes now is a good time to take profits due to rising competition from Samsung, particularly in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. Hedgeye has lowered its estimate for Micron's HBM revenue in 2026 and may view Micron's overall revenue forecast of $48 billion as too optimistic. Analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MU stock with a $155.17 price target, implying 36.1% upside potential.
Micron Technology (MU) has been added to Hedgeye's active short list, with the firm advising investors to lock in gains after a strong run. Hedgeye analyst Felix Wang believes now is a good time to take profits due to rising competition from Samsung, particularly in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips [3].Hedgeye has lowered its estimate for Micron's HBM revenue in 2026 from $10.5 billion to $10 billion, which is 7% below what most analysts expect [3]. Wang also noted that Micron's overall revenue forecast of $48 billion for 2026 may currently be too optimistic. This view is the opposite of Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh’s recommendation, who reiterated his Buy rating with a $150 price target [4].
Despite the downgrade, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MU stock based on 22 Buys, three Holds, and zero Sells assigned in the past three months [4]. The average MU price target of $155.17 per share implies 36.1% upside potential.
