Despite Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) stock crashing over 17% so far in October 2026, triggered by macroeconomic shifts and competitive pressures, C.J. Muse, a Wall Street analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald, expects a bull rally to a new all-time high (ATH) over the next 12 months.

He highlighted that these SCAs are projected to cover 50% of the company’s total revenue moving forward, up significantly from 25% in the May quarter and 35% in the August quarter.
