CNBC Investing Club: Cramer’s Morning Take on Micron 10/1/26

In short

Jim Cramer’s CNBC Investing Club “morning take” preview on Micron (MU) amid a sharp stock selloff. He says Micron is fundamentally strong—strong revenue/earnings growth and “fantastic” gross margins—with the outlook for the next three years described as the best he’s ever heard, plus new contracts and strategic customer agreements (up to 26 vs. 16).

Key claims

the multiple is “horrible” versus fundamentals; downside momentum must be respected; gross margin guidance dipped but is expected to be the floor and improve.

Notable examples

compares to Kimberly Clark’s valuation pullback; cites semi-cap peers (Applied Materials, KLA) and rising CapEx.

I can go on and on about how much I like Micron. It was much stronger than it was even one month ago. They have contracts they'd never had before, which should give it a much higher price during his multiple. Yet the multiple's horrible. Now, I was saying, listen, it is going to go down.

1:37Is it down, should it be down this much? No, but it is. I mean, I can't just say, you know, it's like when I was talking about Kimberly Clark. I said, like, you know, it's at 95. I want to buy some. You said, why can't it go to 90? And the answer is, is that it can. Why can't the stock keep going down? Now, people don't know what to do with it. It was a great quarter. Yeah. The outlook for the next three years is the best that I've ever heard. But, you know, there's a momentum to the downside here that has to be respected. Of course. But I think, you know, the fundamental here is we're strong.

2:09Great revenue. Great earnings growth. Gross margins in the quarter. Fantastic. Yes, Q1, the gross margin guide was a little bit below, a little bit of a dip. But they explained that out. Yes, they did. And it's going to be the floor of the year, which is important. It's going to get better. Right. And you see the reason why I think that even though this looks horrible and can go down to 1 ,000 is that we see applied materials and we see KLA and we see the, you know, we see every one of these. Yeah, the semi-cap equipment stocks. I don't have the ASMLS. Yeah. And that's off Micron. Right. Land research is up a lot.

2:50That CapEx is going to increase now. But that's regarded as negative because they'd like to keep CapEx like SanDisk. No new drives coming in. No new supply. Right. But Sanjay says, listen, the country breaks down unless they have. Well, I guess the counterpoint is that when they're signing up these strategic customer agreements, now up to 26 versus 16 last quarter, that gives them visibility to continue to invest. They're getting cash deposits. Right. And remember, there's one number here. This is the only number the analysts are thinking about. Excuse me, December 9th. That's a date that they're allowed to buy back as much money as they want because that's the end of the lockup for what they got for the chip sack.

3:37And so you're looking at a situation where you're just waiting for the big money. And I don't know why you'd sell it now, knowing that in December 9th, you're going to, in December 10th, you're going to see, they have more cash than, some people say they have more cash, arguably, than Apple or NVIDIA.
