After an initial surge due to strong Q2 earnings and revenue, Micron (MU, Financial) shares fell as guidance for Q3 did not indicate a significant trend change. MU projected Q3 adjusted EPS of $1.47-1.67, aligning with consensus, and revenue of $8.6-9.0 billion, surpassing expectations. However, this guidance was not seen as a meaningful improvement from the previous outlook.
In the last quarter, MU noted weakness in consumer markets, expected to persist through Q2. Management anticipates growth in the latter half of FY25. Despite targeting a 29% year-over-year revenue increase for Q3, a slowdown from Q2's 38% rise, macroeconomic uncertainties continue to obscure recovery timing in consumer electronics, offering little relief.
Investors are skeptical of MU's recovery prospects, despite strong AI demand. Consumer segments struggle, but potential tailwinds like the Windows 10 transition could aid recovery. Investors await confirmation of a second-half turnaround before MU can surpass the $110 resistance level.
