Micron Tech: The path from $8.5 → $85 → $850 → $8,500Micron Technology, Inc.BATS:MUalex-dunstanMU: how much slowdown can the rise absorb? I use a rounded comparison: $5 to $85 over 50 years, then $85 to $855 in one. At the old $1.60-per-year pace, reaching $855 from $5 would take 531 years. The implied dollar pace jumps to $770 per year, 481 times faster. At that pace, another $80 takes about 38 days. $10,000 invested at $85 would be worth about $100,588 at $855, before fees and taxes. Can the rise hold? MUreported $47.05 billion in fiscal Q4 gross profit, up from $35.06 billion in Q3. Yet the chart’s $885 close sits below its weekly moving averages near $970 and $982. I’m watching the next price and moving-average crossings rather than assuming the surge continues uninterrupted. In an illustrative ten-year path from $855 to $8,500, the percentage growth rate falls 69.3% each year. Even then, year one requires 278.5% growth.Holding the model’s 905.9% annual rate constant reaches $8,500 in about 363 days. From $885, reclaiming four figures needs about 13%. I think that is possible within a year even if growth slows sharply. I would hold and look to accumulate after a drawdown begins to recover, watching for price to reclaim the weekly averages and for the next crossover. My question: can profit growth support that recovery as share-price growth slows?
