Micron's share price has been consolidating since the beginning of the year: Is this an opportunity to buy bargains?

March 25, 2025

Micron Technology, the American chip giant, presented its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, which clearly exceeded analysts' expectations, while confirming the company's growing importance in the field of AI and data centers. Despite the risks the company has pointed out, it is possible that the stock has the potential to break free from consolidation based on key fundamentals. Will they succeed?

 Micron's share price has been consolidating since the beginning of the year: Is this an opportunity to buy bargains?

What is the outlook for the next quarter?

Micron presented reasonably optimistic expectations for the coming period, with management estimating revenue at $8.8 billion, which is higher than the market's estimate of $8.55 billion. Following this, earnings per share should reach $1.57, again above expectations at $1.48. [1] 

However, despite strong growth, gross margin is expected to decline slightly to 36.5%, suggesting a possible increase in production costs or stronger price competition from other players in the segment. However, this prediction does not reflect the overall context of the company's financial condition, nor does it diminish the positive, bullish sentiment around the company as demand for their specialized AI chips and high-performance memory continues to grow.

Demand for AI chips and strengthening the data center segment

If you're wondering about Micron's most influential growth factor, the answer won't surprise you. Traditionally, the expansion is driven by the demand for the aforementioned AI chips, which was subsequently reflected in revenues from data centers, which increased up to three times Overall, sales in the monitored quarter increased by 38% year-on-year. In AI, high-bandwidth memory (HBM) was a key success factor, contributing $1 billion to total revenue in the second quarter alone. This segment is extremely important for the company, as tech giants such as Nvidia, AMD and Intel continue to invest heavily in the development of AI chips and other computing solutions that require high-performance memory modules.

Stock development and market attitude

Looking at the share price of this giant, the situation is a little less clear. Since the beginning of the year, the price development could be characterized primarily as corrective, which is a natural part of the capital market. There are periods when price activity falls, but at the same time it is an opportunity for investors who are not yet interested. If a fundamentally strong company, which Micron is, declines in the short term, there is also an opportunity to buy at a better price compared to entering near the peak of performance. *

In addition, the company's CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in the official earnings report that Micron is on track for record revenue and a significant improvement in profitability, which can be another positive signal. [2]

Final assessment and long-term outlook

Micron Technology showed significant growth in the second quarter, currently benefiting primarily from the soaring demand for AI chips and data centers. This trend is likely to continue in the coming quarters as leading technology companies continue to expand AI capabilities and cloud solutions. At the same time, the company is in a position to benefit from this development as much as possible, thanks to a strong product portfolio. While the expected slight reduction in gross margin in the third quarter may signal some near-term challenges, Micron still shows a steady growth trajectory with the possibility of further improvement for the rest of the fiscal year.

Unilever is changing the game: merger with McCormick to create a $65 billion company

April 2, 2026

Unilever has taken one of its biggest strategic moves in recent years by agreeing to merge its Unilever Foods business with McCormick, creating a global group valued at approximately $65 billion with combined revenues of around $20 billion for fiscal year 2025. For shareholders, this is not just another merger announcement, but a clear signal that Unilever’s management wants to radically restructure the portfolio and shift the company’s focus to faster-growing categories outside of packaged foods. This makes it all the more interesting that the market did not receive this deal with enthusiasm.[1]

Apple and the AI Spring: A Quiet Return of the King?

Apple and the AI Spring: A Quiet Return of the King?

March 26, 2026

Apple isn’t pushing into AI through the loudest headlines, but through devices that users hold in their hands every day. In early March, it unveiled the iPhone 17e with an A19 chip, 256 GB of base storage, and a price tag of $599, while in the latest quarter, it reported revenue of $143.8 billion, diluted earnings per share of $2.84, and operating cash flow of nearly $54 billion. This is precisely where the essence of the whole topic begins. The company isn’t trying to sell AI as a standalone product, but as a reason to upgrade iPhones more frequently, stay within the ecosystem, and use new features directly in the system, apps, and services.
