Cantor Fitzgerald Lifts Micron Target to $2,000 on 75% Upside View

3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jul 3

Summary

  • $2,000 is Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse’s new target for Micron, raised from $1,500 while he kept an overweight rating, implying about 75% upside from roughly $1,145.
  • Micron’s new Strategic Customer Agreements drove the upgrade by locking in half of revenue at high margins, which Muse said should reduce pricing volatility and smooth negotiations across cycles.
  • Record operating momentum underpins that view: fiscal third-quarter revenue jumped 346% year over year to $41.5 billion, adjusted EPS rose 13-fold to $24.67, and Micron guided fourth-quarter revenue to $50 billion.
  • Wall Street is broadly bullish, with 88% of June analyst ratings at buy or strong buy and an average target of $1,454, while consensus sees 2027 revenue near $236 billion—enough to support a roughly $2.26 trillion valuation.
