Micron Technology, Inc. shares closed down a modest 0.25% yesterday on about 30.6 million shares traded. Though the close was modest, it was an optimistic day for the stock after it received an "outperform" rating from analyst Tristan Gerra from Baird Equity with a raised price target. Gerra has upped his price target from $52 to $60 on the stock. According to Gerra, DRAM pricing should move higher in the fourth quarter by a single digit rate due to mobile and data centers. He wrote, "DRAM inventories are very low at system makers, both in the server and PC supply chains. Pricing could be up slightly in 1Q sequentially, driven by supply chain attempts to rebuild inventories." It was on Monday that Micron traders were worried after Morgan Stanley warned of falling NAND flash prices. Stifel Nicolaus analyst Kevin Cassidy however later in the day said that the declining prices were nothing to be worried about. He has a $55 price target on Micron.
