‘Take Profits Now,' Says Analyst about Micron Stock (MU)
Semiconductor company Micron Technology (MU) has just been added to Hedgeye's active short list, with the firm now advising investors to lock in gains after a strong run. Indeed, Hedgeye analyst Felix Wang explained that the firm is flipping its view from long to short because Micron was one of the top-performing large-cap semiconductor stocks following the recent 'Liberation Day' rally. As a result of the stock's surge, Hedgeye believes now is a good time to take profits. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off!

A major reason for the downgrade is the rising competition from Samsung (SSNLF), particularly when it comes to high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. Wang believes that Samsung is catching up fast with its new HBM4 technology and could soon challenge Micron in supplying these chips to Nvidia (NVDA). If Samsung re-establishes itself as a serious HBM contender, Micron could lose market share in a very profitable area of its business. Adding to the concern, Wang noted that Samsung's latest 1c DRAM chips are seeing better production results, with yields now over 50%, according to several sources. Because of this, Hedgeye has lowered its estimate for Micron's HBM revenue in 2026 from $10.5 billion to $10 billion, which is 7% below what most analysts expect. Wang also said that Micron's overall revenue forecast of $48 billion for 2026 may currently be too optimistic. Interestingly, this view is the opposite of Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh 's recommendation, who said that the stock's recent pullback is a buying opportunity. As a result, the five-star analyst reiterated his Buy rating with a $150 price target. Is MU a Good Stock to Buy? Overall, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MU stock based on 22 Buys, three Holds, and zero Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average MU price target of $155.17 per share implies 36.1% upside potential.

ED attaches assets worth Rs 1.32 crore of Malur Congress MLA KY Nanjegowda
BENGALURU: The ED, Bengaluru Zonal Office, issued a provisional attachment order on July 16, attaching assets worth approximately Rs 1.32 crore of Malur Congress MLA KY Nanjegowda and others, in a money laundering case related to Kolar-Chikkaballapur District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Ltd (KOMUL) recruitment scam in 2023. In a release on Thursday, the ED said it had filed a money laundering case against Nanjegowda and others based on material collected during investigation in relation to a land grant scam in Malur taluk under Nanjegowda's chairmanship, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The agency also made a reference to Lokayukta police and filed a complaint before the Special Court for trial of MP/MLA cases in its efforts to register the scam. Investigation revealed that the 2023 KOMUL recruitment process, which consisted of a written exam and interview, was 'manipulated in lieu of money and/or recommendation of political persons', the ED stated. The recruitment committee led by then chairman Nanjegowda and then MD KN Gopala Murthy 'conspired with other directors in KOMUL and hatched a plan, which resulted in favouring certain less meritorious candidates and deprived deserving candidates'. Evidence seized during ED's search included parallel OMR sheets (original and tampered), WhatsApp messages from politicians recommending certain candidates and forwarded by Nanjegowda and other directors to the staff of KOMUL. 'Procedural lapses were observed in the entire recruitment process at the level of KOMUL and Mangalore University (MU) indicating efforts to hide irregularities in the process. Admission by the directors and staff of KOMUL, registrar, MU, Nagendra Prasad and certain candidates, who were accommodated in the examination, has unearthed a mega scam in recruitment to the milk union,' the ED added. 'As per evidence gathered, a sum of Rs 1,56,50,000 was generated as proceeds of crime by manipulating the recruitment process at the written exam and interview stages. Nanjegowda is the principal architect of the scam, leveraging his role as chairman, KOMUL. He played a leading role in fixing the number of 'reserved' seats, and orchestrated how bribes would be collected... he illegally enriched himself to the tune of Rs 80 lakh, out of the total proceeds of Rs 1.56 crore,' the ED added.
