Micron (NASDAQ: MU) had a standout quarter in Q4 of 2025.
To call the earnings report released on September 23 a success would be an understatement — revenue came in at $11.32 billion, handily outperforming estimates of $9.30 billion, while earnings per share (EPS) of $2.86 were decently above analyst expectations, which were pegged at $2.67.
MU has experienced a strong 10.92% bump in price since then, which has brought returns over the last 30 days up to a very attractive 31.44%. That’s all well and good — but is it too late to get in on the action?
Well, the title was a bit of a spoiler — the answer is no. You might also recall that we featured MU in our Hot or Not section last week.

For one, our proprietary quant rating system, Zen Ratings, has high confidence in Micron — which ranks in the top 4% of the more than 4,600 stocks that we track. This gives it a Zen Rating of A — which has historically corresponded to an average annual return of 32.52%.
Each Zen Rating is a composite that consists of 7 Component Grade ratings. MU is quite well-balanced and ranks highly in several categories.
We already mentioned the present rally — and it won’t come as a surprise that the stellar results of last quarter have shored up the company’s balance sheet. In terms of Momentum, Micron ranks in the top 10% — when it comes to Financials, it’s in the top 15%.
With that said, the question we posed earlier is if it’s too late to get in on the action — and the answer was no, chiefly due to MU’s valuation, which remains quite enticing. Even with the recent surge accounted for, Micron is trading at a price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 25.14x, and a price to earnings growth (PEG) ratio of 0.66x.
Simply put, we’re faced with a great asking price in view of the company’s growth prospects. With regard to Growth, MU is in the 74th percentile — and when looking at Value, it’s in the top 6%.
To further sweeten the pot, Micron is pretty dominant in its wheelhouse — as MU is currently the 2nd highest rated stock in the 70-stock strong Semiconductor industry.
Two noted Wall Street analysts — Timothy Arcuri of UBS and Morgan Stanley’s Joseph Moore (rated in the top 1% and top 2%, respectively), doubled down on Strong Buy ratings last week. Their price targets saw pretty significant hikes — up from $195 to $225, and from $160 to $220. The revised coverage from Arcuri and Moore implies a 16.99% and 14.39% upside.
While we usually like to highlight undercovered stocks that the market hasn’t caught on to yet, this is quite a different situation. By all accounts, this looks like a simple, straightforward, obvious win — and you shouldn’t hesitate when situations like those pop up and are ripe for the taking.
