Shares of Micron Technology (MU ) slumped nearly 5.5% in morning trading Thursday after UBS initiated coverage of the trendy stock with a sell rating. The analyst team, led by Timothy Arcuri, are apparently bearish on Micron due to “cyclical memory concerns and big estimate cuts.”
Arcuri argued that Micron’s supply chain has struggled to keep inventory growth on pace with revenue expansion over the four quarters, a phenomenon which has helped create a “very favorable cyclical backdrop” for the semiconductor business. However, the analyst feels this factor is rapidly waning and will soon become a headwind.
UBS also assigned a sell rating to chip behemoth Texas Instruments (TXN ) . Meanwhile, the firm initiated coverage of three semiconductor plays—Broadcom (AVGO ) , Marvel Technology (MRVL ) , and KLA-Tencor (KLAC ) —with buy ratings.
Arcuri’s concern that cyclical trends could eventually become headwinds is one that frequently looms above the semiconductor industry. Decades of progress in personal, business, and mobile computing have allowed analysts and investors to pick up on recurring factors that both drive growth and cause pullbacks.
