What happened

Shares of semiconductor company Micron Technology ( MU -1.52% ) popped a little higher today after the company beat Wall Street's expectations for the third quarter of its fiscal 2020. It also offered guidance for the fourth quarter that was ahead of expectations.

So what

Micron reported Q3 revenue of $5.4 billion for 14% growth year over year. This exceeded the high end of its previous revenue guidance of $4.6 billion to $5.2 billion. Last quarter, the company didn't give guidance according to generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ), but provided adjusted earnings-per-share guidance of $0.55.

NASDAQ: MU

For the upcoming Q4, Micron's guidance was upbeat. It forecast revenue of $5.75 billion to $6.25 billion, representing 23% year-over-year growth. It also gave GAAP EPS guidance of $0.78 to $0.98, and adjusted EPS guidance of $0.95 to $1.15.

Now what

Beyond the numbers, Micron's quarter and guidance are noteworthy because of the cyclical industry that the company operates in. Both shipments and the average selling price (ASP) of its products increased in Q3. Higher shipments indicate strong demand, while increased ASP signals low supply.

What happened

Micron Technology ( MU -3.13% ) stock went on a tear this week, rising 8.8% through Thursday's close -- and looking set to add another 4% or even 5% today. Already, here at the 3:15 p.m. EST mark, Micron stock is up 4.8%.

So what

This morning, analysts at Argus Research upped their target for Micron from $65 a share to $85, citing recent increases in revenue, profit margin, and earnings forecasts.

NASDAQ: MU

Adding to the "good" news is a curious development. Yesterday, it was reported that a brief power outage at Micron's DRAM memory factory in Taiwan might actually be a positive development for Micron (and other memory makers), inasmuch as any disruption in supply could push up prices for DRAM in a supply constrained environment.

Now what

I wouldn't overstate the effect of the disruption, however. TheFly.com is reporting that it lasted "for over an hour," but probably not much longer than that.

What happened

Shares of computer memory maker Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) are marching higher as the week winds down Friday, topping 7% in 11:35 a.m. ET trading on the back of positive commentary from Wall Street. As Citigroup reports today, the price correction in DRAM "is drawing to a close."

So what

Citigroup made this pronouncement in a note covered on TheFly.com today, noting that higher demand for personal computers and servers is likely to boost demand for DRAM computer memory in Q4 2021 and into Q1 2022. The analyst thinks this will be a "positive catalyst" for Micron stock and thinks Micron is a buy at today's prices.

Now what

But that's just what makes stocks like Micron so attractive (in Evercore's opinion)! "Investors are generally eager to get back into memory," argues the analyst, but with prices still falling they're hesitant to buy.
