Stifel Nicolaus (research report)

UBS Group (industry research note)

JPMorgan Chase (research coverage)
The bank raised its target to $185 from $165, keeping an ‘overweight’ rating. The move followed Micron’s positive preannouncement, which showed revenue, gross margin and earnings upside driven by improved pricing across AI datacentre, smartphone and PC markets (Investing.com UK, 12 August 2025).
Wedbush (analyst note)
The firm boosted its price target to $200 from $165, maintaining an ‘outperform’ rating. Wedbush applied a 10-times multiple to fiscal 2027 earnings estimates, noting that gross margin assumptions remain below 2018 cyclical highs despite positive HBM contributions (TipRanks, 17 September 2025).

MU stock price: Technical overview
Micron Technology (MU) trades at $166.25 as of 8.38pm UTC on 23 September 2025, holding well above its key moving-average cluster, with the 20/50/100/200-day SMAs at approximately $139, $125, $115 and $104. The 20-over-50 alignment remains intact, supporting the near-term constructive bias as price maintains a significant cushion above the moving-average shelf.
Momentum shows stretched readings, with the 14-day RSI at 77.01, indicating firm upside pressure but nearing overbought conditions. The Average Directional Index at 40.67 confirms an established trend, while MACD signals continue to support the bullish structure amid the recent surge.
The first area to watch topside is the $167.44 Classic R1 pivot; a daily close above this level would put the $172.22 R2 back in view and potentially reopen the path towards higher resistance zones. On pullbacks, initial support sits at $117.00 on the Classic Pivot, with the 20-day SMA near $139 providing the primary moving-average shelf. A loss of this level would risk a deeper move towards the 50-day average around $125 (TradingView, 23 September 2025).
