MICRON GAINS DESPITE A BIG GUIDANCE MISS
MICRON TECHNOLOGY IS TRADING DOWN 1.94% AT 50.01
Shares of Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) are up nearly 3% in pre-market Friday despite the chipmaker reporting extremely soft guidance for its first fiscal quarter.
Micron’s FQ4 earnings report has so far proved to be “sell the rumor buy the news” as shares trade higher despite a significant guidance miss. Micron reported an EPS of $1.45 on revenue of $6.64 billion, which compares to analyst estimates of $1.41 per share on revenue of $6.81 billion.
For this quarter, the company is looking for EPS of $0.02 (the midpoint) on revenue of $4.25 billion (the midpoint). The offered guidance compares to the analyst consensus of $0.64 per share on revenue of $5.62 billion. The adjusted gross margin is seen between 24% and 28%, marking another material miss as consensus stood at 33.6%
