Micron Stock Forecast: Why Micron Is Still A Worthy Investment

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • With stronger factory production available, average selling prices of DRAM and NAND flash is down this year.
  • On the other hand, the increasing default RAM and flash storage of new smartphones and computers is still a strong tailwind for Micron.
  • More RAM and flash storage are needed because smartphones now can play PC-level video games. Smartphones are now also decent HD video camcorders.
  • The higher margins possible on 8GB/12GB RAM modules helps offset the lower spot prices of RAM.
  • Micron is an industry leader in DRAM and NAND storage products. Sadly, it is still being undervalued compared to its semiconductor industry peers.

Microsoft Stock:

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • Windows 7 was released almost 10 years ago. Microsoft stock has a headwind from the fact that Windows 7 still touts more than 36% market share.
  • Microsoft failed to meet its target of 1 billion devices on Windows 10 partly because many business and home users refused to upgrade from Windows 7.
  • Windows 7 support will end on January 24, 2020. Only volume licensed Windows 7 Pro and Windows 7 Enterprise versions will get paid extended support.
  • The expensive fees that Microsoft will charge Windows 7 Pro and Windows 7 Enterprise volume license owners will force them to upgrade to Windows 10.
  • I commend this strong-arm tactic of Microsoft. Microsoft is better off when most Windows 7 users are compelled to upgrade to Windows 10.

ANET Stock Forecast: Why Arista Networks Remains A Strong Buy

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • Cisco and Arista has settled their court battle last year. Arista is now free to keep on taking away networking/data center customers away from Cisco.
  • Compared to Cisco, Arista’s revenue performance over the last five years showed it is the better investment for growth-minded investors.
  • ANET has notably higher valuation ratios than CSCO because it is perceived as the firm with the better growth potential. Cisco is too big and too old, it cannot grow fast anymore.
  • Arista’s management and engineers are former Cisco employees. Arista therefore has the technology and contact lists to disrupt Cisco’s small and large enterprise businesses.
  • I Know First has bullish algorithmic forecasts for ANET.
