Summary
- Micron Technology is a 'Strong Buy' under $1,000, driven by robust AI data center demand and a three-company oligopoly memory market (along with Samsung and SK Hynix).
- MU's Q3FY26 saw revenue up 346% YoY, a record 85% gross margin, and $18.3 billion adjusted free cash flow, with similar strength guided for Q4.
- Strategic multi-year customer agreements guarantee ~$100 billion in revenue (backed by ~$22 billion in customer deposits), enhancing financial visibility and justifying a higher valuation multiple.
- Valuation remains compelling at a forward P/E of only 13.3x, with a potential 10:1 stock split and durable AI-driven memory demand into 2029-2030.

Michael Fitzsimmons is a retired electronics engineer and avid investor. He advises investors to construct a well-diversified portfolio built on a core foundation of a high-quality low-cost S&P500 fund. For investors who can tolerate short-term risks, he advises an over-weight position in the technology sector, which he believes is still in the early stages of a long-term secular bull-market. For dividend income, and as a 4th generation oil & gas man, Fitzsimmons suggests investors consider a position in large O&G companies that provide strong dividend income and dividend growth. Fitzsimmons' articles on portfolio management recommend a top-down capital allocation approach that is aligned with each individual investor's personal situation (i.e. age, retired/working, risk tolerance, income, net worth, goals, etc) and might include allocations into investment categories such as the S&P500, technology, dividend income, sector ETFs, growth, speculative growth, gold, and cash.
