What would change the picture for MU

• The 2026-12-15 earnings report (59 days away). Micron Technology Inc beat estimates in 4 of the last 4 quarters (average surprise +16.2%); a miss would break that pattern.
• An open-market purchase by an insider at Micron Technology Inc. There has been none in 90 days; Form 4 filings would show one within two business days of the trade.
• Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 4.24 to 4.21 over three months (1 = strong buy, 5 = strong sell). A run of downgrades after earnings usually shows up here first.
• Price levels: a close above $1213.18 would be a new 52-week high (+38.0% from here); a close below $198.24 would be a new 52-week low (-77.4%).
• Growth: revenue changed +256.3% year over year in the quarter ending Sep 2026 (trend: accelerating). At a P/E of 11.8, a slowdown would matter more than at a lower multiple.
• New shares: dilution risk is low now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

How MU compares with its peers

MU's P/E of 11.8 is below the peers' median of 29.5, so investors pay less for each dollar of its profit.

Key terms on this page

P/E ratio

Price divided by the last 12 months of earnings per share. A P/E of 20 means investors pay $20 for each $1 of yearly profit. It is only defined when the company is profitable.

Price-to-sales

Market value divided by the last 12 months of revenue. Useful for companies with little or no profit, but it ignores margins.

Form 4

The SEC form a company's officers, directors and 10% owners must file within two business days of buying or selling its stock.

Open-market trade

A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.

Form 13F

A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.

Dilution

When a company issues new shares, each existing share owns a smaller piece of the company. Common sources: stock offerings, convertible debt and large stock-based pay.

52-week high / low

The highest and lowest daily closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days).
