Monday opened lower but closed at $733.15. Tuesday stayed inside a $699.63–$745.64 range. Wednesday saw a volume spike that pushed the stock to an intraday high of $827.58 before settling at $811.30. Thursday and Friday pulled back, with Friday dipping to $750.25 before recovering to $778.31. Weekly amplitude was 19.62%, and average daily volume of 30.57 million shares ran 15.73% above the median — both pointing to an unusually active week. ## Key Events The dominant story was the abrupt resignation of Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang on Thursday, which rattled AI chip names globally. Micron fell more than 4% in Thursday’s pre-market as the sector sold off. At the same time, the Taoyuan plant union exited profit-sharing talks and ended negotiations with Micron, leaving the labour dispute unresolved. Money then split: Renaissance Technologies cut its Nvidia stake by 99.7% in Q3 while adding Micron and AMD, and Stephanie Link of Hightower sold Nvidia to buy Micron. After hours on Friday, chip stocks broadly rose, with Micron up 1.8%. Company-specific news included discussion of PCIe Gen6 SSD and HBM revenue, Micron highlighting its AI leadership at investor events, and Anthropic’s industry-wide update touching Nvidia, AMD, Micron and Broadcom. ## Analyst Ratings A total of 50 institutions cover Micron: 36 rate it buy, 9 overweight, 4 hold, and 1 no opinion, with no sell or underweight ratings. The consensus rating is strong buy, and the consensus target of $1,561.91 sits about 100.68% above the current price of $778.31. The target range is extraordinarily wide, from $361 to $3,000, signalling deep disagreement among analysts. Within the semiconductor manufacturers group of 78 names, Micron ranks 5th by rating. ## The Week Ahead Next week brings a dense macro calendar: the New York Fed manufacturing index on Monday, followed on Tuesday by import prices, retail sales, industrial production and the NAHB housing market index. The more direct marker for Micron is its fiscal Q1 2027 earnings on 16 December after the close, with consensus estimates pointing to adjusted EPS of $37.91 and revenue of $618 billion. The sector-wide repricing triggered by the Nvidia CEO change is still being absorbed, and US retail and industrial data will shape whether risk appetite holds into year-end. ## In Short Micron outperformed the market this week, and the analyst picture is overwhelmingly favourable — a strong-buy consensus with a target more than double the spot price, even if the spread between the lowest and highest targets shows expectations are far from converged. Offsetting that, the Taoyuan labour dispute persists, latest-session large-lot flow turned net seller, and the Nvidia-led sector rotation has not fully played out. Valuation sits around 10.36x P/E and 6.36x P/B, near the lower part of the weekly range. The question now is whether memory fundamentals can decouple from Nvidia sentiment, and what the December earnings call actually delivers on guidance. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [MU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MU.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Micron Stock (MU) Forecast – Why Are Analysts Bullish Despite Ongoing Volatility?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/305555924.md) - [Micron Technology, Inc. $MU Shares Acquired by Collaborative Fund Advisors LLC](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304420599.md) - [Will Raised Revenue Guidance Change PACS Group (PACS) Stock Narrative](https://longbridge.com/en/news/305545390.md) - [Xeris Biopharma Holdings (XERS) Lifts Outlook As Valuation Questions Follow Its Sharp Rally](https://longbridge.com/en/news/305545732.md) - [SALIK: Geopolitical disruption pressured results, while VAT compensation neutralized reassessment and refinancing remains key](https://longbridge.com/en/news/305533519.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
