Micron Stock Analysis: Micron Has A Tailwind From Growing Mobile DRAM Revenue

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:

  • Ignore the noise/anxiety over China’s threat to file anti-trust charges against DRAM leaders like Micron. It is just China making retaliatory threats against Trump’s trade war words.
  • Better focus on the fact that mobile DRAM sales continue to surge. Growing mobile DRAM demand can offset declining prices of PC DRAM products.
  • Apple’s choice of Micron DRAM for its latest iPhones is a solid tailwind for Micron. Apple’s track record showed it can sell more than 50 million new iPhones per year.
  • Micron’s mass production of 10-nm 12GB LPDDR4X mobile DRAM should keep Apple as a customer for a long time.
  • MU has obvious notable upside potential because its valuation is way below than that of its peers in the semiconductor industry.

Qualcomm Stock Forecast (NASDAQ: QCOM): Xiaomi Is Boosting Adoption of Qualcomm’s Flagship Smartphone Processors

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:

  • Budget phone leader Xiaomi is very important to Qualcomm’s future. Xiaomi is always the early-bird proponent of Qualcomm’s flagship mobile processors.
  • Xiaomi’s willingness to sell affordable iPhone-like Android  phones with flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon processors is why it is now the world’s number 4 vendor.
  • Xiaomi shipped out 31.9 million smartphones in Q2 2018 – 48.8% higher year-over-year. The recent launch of the $300 Snapdragon 845-powered Pocophone F1 should help Xiaomi maintain this momentum.
  • Other leading phone vendors like Oppo, Vivo, and Meizu will likely use Snapdragon 845 for their own $300 - $350 Android phones.
  • The NXP deal is dead. Qualcomm needs to sell more processors and modems. The more companies using Snapdragon 845, the better it is for Qualcomm’s bottomline.

3D Stock Forecast (NASDAQ: DDD): 3D Systems Can Breach $30

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:

  • The stock price of 3D Systems has more than doubled since my last buy rating for it last February 23. I still endorse this stock as a buy.
  • My fearless forecast is that DDD can hit $30 within the next 12 months. Additive manufacturing’s gradual shift from prototyping to production applications is a long-term tailwind for 3D Systems.
  • The 2018 Wohlers Report revealed that the 3D printing industry grew 21% to $7.3 billion in 2017. Sales of 3D-printed parts from independent service bureaus contributed $2.995 billion.
  • I Know First’s AI still gives DDD a bullish one-year algorithmic market trend forecast.

Intel Stock Forecast (NASDAQ: INTC): Intel’s Latest Mobile Processors Should Mitigate Threat From AMD

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:

  • Intel has unveiled its connectivity-focused 8th-generation processors for laptop and 2-in-1 notebook/tablet products. They should help address the rising threat from AMD.
  • More laptops/tablets/2-in-1s are shipped out annually. Intel therefore has compelling reasons to keep competitive against AMD’s Ryzen Pro mobile processors.
  • Intel’s Whiskey Lake-U and Amber Lake can offer up to 16 hours battery life. They come with integrated gigabit Wi-Fi or LTE connectivity, and Thunderbolt 3 and Optane memory support.
  • An LTE-enabled 5W dual-core Amber Lake-Y should be perfect for Microsoft’s dying Cellular PC campaign. It certainly can compete against Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 850.
  • I Know First has slight negative near-term forecasts for INTC. I still believe this stock is a good buy for long-term investors who value solid fundamentals/moat of Intel.

Alibaba Stock Price Prediction (NYSE: BABA): Trade War With U.S. Is Not Slowing Down Alibaba’s Impressive Revenue Growth

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:

  • Inspite of the noise from a President Trump-initiated trade war with China, Alibaba’s revenue growth story remains very robust.
  • Alibaba reported its June 2018 quarter results last week and it posted revenue of $12.229 billion – a 61% Y/Y growth Core e-commerce revenue also grew 61% Y/Y to $10.456 million.
  • This outstanding quarterly performance convinced me that Alibaba did not deserve the 3% dip in its stock price during the post-earnings trading.
  • A trade war between China and America is just a minor annoyance. More than 92% of Alibaba’s revenue is generated inside China.
  • I Know First has a very bullish one-year algorithmic forecast for BABA. Going long on this stock now is highly likely to prove profitable.
