Investing.com -- Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) dropped almost 5% after Deutsche Bank (DE:DBKGn) downgraded the stock.
Analyst Sidney Ho dropped Micron to a hold from buy, citing supply chain checks and "tough quarters ahead" for memory names, Seeking Alpha reported. The checks were made following Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC)'s revenue miss earlier this month, and Ho said demand has "dropped off sharply since mid-June."
He also cut Micron's price target to $48 from $60. Ho's view goes against the majority.
The stock has 18 buy ratings, seven holds and one sell, with an average price target of $65.10, according to analysts tracked by Investing.com.
Shares are down 16% since the start of 2020. The company's profit and sales results have beat forecasts for the past six quarters. Earnings are expected to be released on Sept. 24.
