Analysts reboot Micron Technology stock price target ahead of earnings
An elephant might never forget but Micron Technology (MU) has more storage space. The Boise, Idaho, company makes memory and storage chips for data centers, computers and smartphones, and its client list includes such tech-sector superstars as AI-chip chieftain Nvidia (NVDA) , Mac and iPhone maker Apple (AAPL) , Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META) and software kingpin Microsoft (MSFT) . Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Make no mistake, there's money in memories, and we're not just talking about those singing cats on Broadway. "After the historic downturn of 2022–2023, the memory industry has entered a phase of strong recovery. In 2024, memory revenue reached a record $170 billion," according to market researcher Yole Group. "This rebound was fueled by AI-training requirements in data centers, with [high-bandwidth memory) playing a pivotal role due to its premium pricing and performance advantages," the firm added. HBM continues to outperform the broader DRAM chip segment, Yole Group said. This year HBM revenue is set to nearly double to around $34 billion. Micron is a key player in the HBM market, offering solutions like HBM3E and HBM4 designed for high-performance computing and AI company recently joined the Trump administration to unveil plans to expand its U.S. investments to about $150 billion in domestic memory manufacturing and $50 billion in research and development, creating an estimated 90,000 direct and indirect jobs. More Tech Stocks: Amazon tries to make AI great again (or maybe for the first time)Veteran portfolio manager raises eyebrows with latest Meta Platforms moveGoogle plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move "Micron's U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D plans underscore our commitment to driving innovation and strengthening the domestic semiconductor industry," Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in a statement. The company's shares are up nearly up nearly 45% this year and off 16% from this time in 2024. Investment firms have been issuing research reports for Micron Technology ahead of its fiscal-third-quarter earnings report, scheduled for June 25. Wedbush boosted its price target on Micron to $150 from $130 while maintaining an outperform rating. The firm said memory-pricing trends turned more positive in the second quarter. And while Wedbush said it doesn't see as significant an inflection in Q3 as it had been expecting back in March, the firm said pricing for both DRAM and NAND, which are two types of semiconductor memory, "still will lift over the next couple of quarters." Better fundamentals are driven by stronger enterprise/server demand, which started around April and looks to hold through the rest of the year, Wedbush said. Demand for both AI and standard workloads appears better than might have been initially anticipated, it said. "Moreover, we view growing [high-bandwidth memory] requirements as not just positive for MU's numbers but also ultimately positive for industry dynamics as [capital spending] and clean-room space are reallocated to support HBM growth," Wedbush said. Related: Analysts rework Micron stock price targets after earnings This will limit the likelihood of too much supply of NAND/DRAM, and it increases the probability that production of more standard parts will trail demand. That, the firm said, would create a more positive pricing/margin cycle vs. what is embedded in its expectations, the firm said. Morgan Stanley maintained an equal-weight rating and $98 price target on Micron, given how much the stock has rallied already, according to The Fly. But the investment firm is "tactically bullish," given that AI spending is materially accelerating as Micron grows its participation. The investment firm, which notes that its estimates remain 20% above consensus for August-quarter earnings, also highlights Sandisk, which it likes better long term and on which it has an overweight rating. Based in Milpitas, Calif., Sandisk designs and produces flash-memory products, including memory cards, USB flash drives and solid-state drives. Consensus numbers have started to come up for Micron over the past few weeks, but in addition to Morgan Stanley being about 20% above consensus for August earnings per share, the firm is also 14% above for November after it raised estimates six weeks ago.

How Advisors Can Avoid Becoming Over-Reliant on AI
Apparently there's no AI in team. Artificial intelligence is being hailed as a key element of the fourth industrial revolution, and new tools are now assisting financial advisors with taking notes, drafting emails, and brainstorming thought leadership content. In fact, the vast majority of advisors said generative AI helped their practices, according to a survey earlier this year. But AI isn't a silver bullet. It lacks emotional intelligence and a human touch. Advisors risk damaging client relationships if they become too reliant on automation — even for routine tasks. 'AI is poor at empathy so far,' said Adrian Johnstone, CEO of the CRM platform Practifi. 'Advisors need to recognize where the personal connection is most powerful, and use AI to automate and alleviate the lesser functions.' READ ALSO: What the GENIUS Act Means for Stablecoins and Advisors and Why UBS Is the Only Wirehouse to Allow Podcasting Today, most advisors use AI to boost meeting efficiency and streamline workflows. Ideally, this frees up more time to spend with clients, but misusing these tools can backfire. 'The common refrain of disaffected clients is: 'I pay you to understand me, my goals, and my fears, not to outsource me to a machine,'' Johnstone said. Wealth management is built on bespoke service, but AI hasn't yet learned to fully adapt to individual client needs and goals. While tools that draft emails and website content are improving, the output still reads 'hollow and generic,' Johnstone warned. Use it or Lose it. Client-facing AI tools can be 'extremely risky' because they can't interpret emotional undertones of client's concerns, said Rafael Loureiro, CEO of an estate planning platform. Still, AI can be useful for quick, factual tasks. 'If it's midnight on a Sunday and a client asks, 'What was my marginal tax rate last year?' that's a perfect use case,' Loureiro said. 'It's not doing financial planning, but answering factual questions.' Everything in Moderation. This isn't the first time new tech or strategies meant to disrupt the wealth management industry have wound up causing trouble for advisors and their clients. Will Trout, director at Datos Insights, pointed to the 2008 financial crisis as a warning. 'Firms that over-relied on risk models without human oversight suffered catastrophic losses,' he told Advisor Upside. This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.

Pope Leo ‘concerned' about AI's impact on children
Pope Leo XIV sounded the alarm this week over artificial intelligence (AI)'s potential impact on young people's intellectual and neurological development, building upon one of the main focuses of his papacy. The first American pope delivered the message to an annual conference on AI and ethics, part of which took place in the Vatican this week. 'All of us, I am sure, are concerned for children and young people, and the possible consequences of the use of AI on their intellectual and neurological development,' the pope said. 'Our youth must be helped, and not hindered, in their journey towards maturity and true responsibility.' The pontiff described how new generations have unprecedented, quick access to data and information, while noting they must not confuse this access to data with intelligence. 'In the end, authentic wisdom has more to do with recognizing the true meaning of life, than with the availability of data,' Leo said. Leo acknowledged AI has been used in positive ways, pointing to research in healthcare and science. But he warned of the possibility the emerging technology can be used for 'selfish gain at the expense of others' or 'to foment conflict and aggression.' The pope said AI, especially generative AI, 'also raises troubling questions of its possible repercussions on humanity's openness to truth and beauty, on our distinctive ability to grasp and process reality.' In order to weigh the benefits and risks, Leo said further AI development needs to be evaluated with a 'superior ethical criterion' he described as the need to safeguard the dignity of every human and respecting the culture and diversity of the global population. He added that any ethical framework for AI government must recognize the unique characteristics of the human person in contrast to technology. Since being elected pope in early May, Leo has made the risks of AI on humanity a key priority of his papacy. In his first official address to cardinals in May, the pope warned of the challenges AI poses to the 'defense of human dignity, justice and labor.' The mission resembles that of his namesake, Pope Leo XIII, who pushed for workers' rights amid the industrial revolution, and a Vatican spokesperson told media outlets the name choice was 'not a casual reference.' Leo pointed to past comments made by his predecessor Pope Francis, who repeatedly highlighted the risks associated with AI during his papacy. Earlier this year, the Vatican under Francis's direction released an outline of the ethical guidelines for the use of AI, which warned the technology could 'undermine the foundations of society.' Francis in this outline urged humans to be more responsible about the tech and careful about its impact on various sectors going forward. And last year, Francis issued a similar warning during the first-ever address by a pontiff to the leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) countries. It comes as leaders in the U.S. push for less regulation of AI development to usher more innovation and maintain the country's competitiveness in the space. In an address to the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in February, Vice President Vance slammed 'excessive regulation' of AI as several of the U.S.'s allies in Europe seek to establish stricter guardrails.
