Investors will be hoping for strength from MU as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be September 28, 2021. On that day, MU is projected to report earnings of $2.31 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 113.89%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $8.19 billion, up 35.28% from the year-ago period.

Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988.

Valuation is also important, so investors should note that MU has a Forward P/E ratio of 5.96 right now. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 5.96, so we one might conclude that MU is trading at a no noticeable deviation comparatively.
