Micron Technology has growing revenues and increasing reinvestment in the business and an excellent current ratio. Additionally, the company's financial statements display low leverage and generally positive cash flows. However, the firm suffers from slimmer gross margins than its peers and declining EPS growth. Finally, we note that Micron Technology has average net margins with a stable trend.
Micron Technology does not have a meaningful trailing P/E ratio since its earnings per share are negative. Its forward EPS guidance is negative too, at $-1.06. The average P/E ratio for the Technology sector is 27.16. On the other hand, the market is undervaluing Micron Technology in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 1.63. In comparison, the sector average is 6.23. In conclusion, Micron Technology's impressive cash flow trend, decent P/B ratio, and reasonable use of leverage demonstrate that the company may still be fairly valued — despite its elevated earnings multiple.
