increase our FY21 estimates and maintain our above-consensus FY22 earnings
estimate and remain OW the stock on a strong supply/demand outlook into CY22.
We continue to see significant upside in shares from current levels.

environment. F3Q21 revenue of $7.42B (up 19% Q/Q, up 36% Y/Y) was
above the high-end of original guidance and vs. consensus/JPMe of
$7.21B/$7.40B on strong DRAM and NAND pricing. DRAM and NAND
revenues increased 23% Q/Q and 10% Q/Q, respectively. GM of 42.9% was
above consensus/JPMe (42.0%) on strong pricing trends. OPM came in at
31.9%, resulting in EPS of $1.88 (vs. consensus/JPMe of $1.72/$1.76).

 August quarter guide also above consensus on continued strong pricing trends.
F4Q21 revenue guidance $8.20B at the midpoint (up 10% Q/Q, up 35% Y/Y) was
above consensus/JPMe of $7.85B/$8.03B on strong pricing in DRAM and NAND as
demand across most end-markets continues to be strong - partially offset by modest
DRAM bit shipment growth. GM guidance of 47.0% was above consensus 46.0% on a
continued strong pricing environment in DRAM and NAND which more than offsets
unfavorable product mix and COVID-19 mitigations costs. EPS guidance of $2.30 (+/-
$0.10) was above consensus of $2.17 on higher revenue and margins.

 Demand remains strong and broad-based; CY21 bit demand outlook raised.
Micron is seeing strong demand across its end markets – cloud, mobile, PC,
automotive, etc. as the company discussed at our TMC conference in late May (link).
In cloud, Micron is seeing demand strengthening in the back half of the year while
enterprise demand is also improving. Much of the strong demand is being driven by
memory and storage content gains in areas such as AI, new server CPU with higher
memory channels, mobile (5G), automotive (EVs, ADAS) and industrial. Content
gains in mobile (5G) is offsetting mixed demand (somewhat weaker unit demand in
Asia). It’s worth noting as well that inventory in the channel (e.g. at cloud and mobile
customers) appears to be lean while Micron's own inventory is also lean. Moreover,
Micron and we expect customers to try to increase the levels of safety stock in the
future (a move toward 'just-in-case' vs. 'just-in-time'). Reflective of the strong demand,
Micron now expects 2021 DRAM bit growth demand to be somewhat above 20% (vs
prior expectation of ~20%) and NAND bit growth demand to be in the mid-30% range
(vs prior expectation of low-to-mid 30%).

 Expect tight supply/strong demand into CY22; Memory makers remain


disciplined in adding supply. The team expects supply to remain tight in both DRAM
and NAND through CY21 and into CY22. We believe Micron and its competitors
remain disciplined in adding capacity in both DRAM and NAND. As a result, we and
Micron expect supply to lag demand through the balance of this year for both DRAM
and NAND. Such supply discipline, coupled with a strong demand environment is
supportive of a strong pricing environment at least through the balance of this year and
likely into 2022.

 On track with DRAM and NAND technology transitions and cost


improvements on a like-for-like basis; DRAM EUV insertion in the 2024
timeframe. Looking into FY22, we think bit shipments (and cost downs) can
accelerate as 1α DRAM and 176L 3D NAND become a larger portion of the mix.
Even if pricing starts to moderate in early 2022, we see the opportunity for strong
gross margin performance as a result of Micron driving outsized cost reductions on
a like-for-like basis. However, Micron is seeing some cost headwinds from
strategic product migrations to more advanced and higher-value products (e.g.
DDR5 DRAM, higher density server modules, and SSDs) and investments in the
supply chain (for COVID mitigation costs). For example, in DRAM in FY22
Micron anticipates annualized cost reductions near the lower end of its long-term range
of mid- to high-single-digits % annual cost declines. Longer term, the team is
planning to insert EUV in DRAM (introduction at 1γ node) in the 2024 timeframe
and has placed purchase orders with ASML as part of a long-term volume
purchase agreement, resulting in higher capex (FY21 >$9.5B and capital intensity
expected to increase to mid-30% as % of sales during EUV build-out).

 Micron to sell Lehi Fab to Texas Instruments for $1.5B in economic value. In
conjunction with the quarterly results, Micron announced that it is selling its Lehi fab

to Texas Instruments for $900M while retaining select tools worth $600M (for
redeployment to other Micron or to be sold to other buyers). The sale is expected to
close by the end of 2021. The deal frees up free cash flow and enhances business
profitability. The team realized $75M less depreciation cost (classified as assets held
for sale) in F3Q and expects $20M less depreciation cost in F4Q. Once the sale is
completed, the team expects $20M of underutilization charges to be eliminated in F1Q.

 We continue to see further upside in OW-rated MU shares. With solid execution on


its technology migrations and product portfolio and with expectations of strong
supply/demand fundamentals we continue to see strong margin expansion and earnings
growth in 2022. We remain Overweight MU and continue to see upside in shares.

Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks


Micron Technology, Inc. (Overweight; Price Target: $140.00)
Investment Thesis
 Longer term, the company’s increasing product (DRAM, NAND, NOR) and end-
market diversification should dampen revenue/earnings volatility and also
position the company to do well in markets (handset) that require multiple types
of memory.
 Micron should benefit from secular trends in mobile DRAM, which should help it
reduce volatility to commodity DRAM. Post the Elpida acquisition, we believe
Micron will be positioned well to benefit from secular trends in mobility,
networking, and cloud computing.
 New technology, divestiture of non-core assets, and cost-cutting efforts should
help it improve gross margins and profitability in the coming quarters.

Valuation
Our Dec 2021 price target of $140 assumes that Micron should trade at ~10x
C2H22E earning power of ~$7 on an annualized basis (~$14). At 10x, Micron would
trade in-line with the historical average of 8x-12x forward multiple. Above-average
upside potential from current levels drives our Overweight rating.

Risks to Rating and Price Target


 Micron competes in extremely competitive markets—operational execution is
critical.
 Any sudden weakness in demand outlook for PCs could reduce our estimates on
DRAM price recovery and memory content growth.
 An aggressive ASP decline combined with lower per gigabit manufacturing cost
reduction could cause us to lower our revenue and earnings estimates.
 Any imbalance in DRAM and NAND supply/demand could cause us to lower our
revenue and earnings estimates.
 Our NAND demand assumptions could change the overall growth for the sector if
we continue to see a further supply/demand disconnect.
 Any macroeconomic-driven demand softness could potentially result in lower
demand for Micron’s products and could impact revenues/profitability profile for
the company.

Initiated coverage Apr 01, 2004. All share prices are as of market close on the previous business day.

The chart(s) show J.P. Morgan's continuing coverage of the stocks; the current analysts may or may not have covered it over the entire
period.
J.P. Morgan ratings or designations: OW = Overweight, N= Neutral, UW = Underweight, NR = Not Rated
Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the
average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve
months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s)
coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of
the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if
applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy
reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia and ex-India) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected
total return is compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it
does not appear in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P.
Morgan’s research website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
Coverage Universe: Sur, Harlan: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Analog Devices (ADI), Applied Materials (AMAT), Broadcom Inc
(AVGO), Intel (INTC), KLA Corporation (KLAC), Lam Research (LRCX), MACOM (MTSI), Marvell Technology Inc (MRVL), Maxim
