I added few MUs at 45 level. Dram prices are increasing and production supply is increasing, likely MU will definitely meet consensus, but how much exceptional results (Beyond expected) and future guidance matters.
You have one more day to act as MU is after hours. It is all up to you.

• Micron says it believes its stock is undervalued and will use cash flow to support and accelerate its buyback program.
• The company plans to start growing SSD share again in 2020 and calls next year a transition year.
• In Q4, DRAM accounted for 70% (Q3: 71%) of revenue with relatively flat ASPs. Industry DRAM is tracking slightly above 20% with Micron growing in-line.
• NAND was 26% of revenue (+15% Q/Q) with ASPs down in the mid-teens percent range, lower than expected decline. (This could prove negative for Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), (NYSE:WDC) and Seagate (NASDAQ:STX)).
• Q1 guidance includes downside revenue from $7.9B to $8.3B (consensus: $8.4B) and downside EPS of $2.87 to $3.02 (consensus: $3.06). Gross margins expected to be lower than Q4 levels or from 57% to 60%.
The tariff 10% is effective from Sep 24th, already received/contracted orders are paying customs duty as they can not pass the duty to customers.
Any new orders, they may increase the base price (to match tariff) and profit margin will come back. This is the main reason, their PM will be reduced one QTR.
After market prices are mostly panic driven or FOMO by individual users, but big funds will analyze the effect clearly and price it during day time (Friday) or exactly on Monday.
That is the main reason, I bought lot of shares after market than tomorrow day time.
With memory price going up, MU coming down is not correct
