Today’s Research Reports on Stocks to Watch: Micron Technology and ImmunoGen

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2017 /
U.S. markets rose across the board Monday, with the Dow Jones closing at a new all-time high for the 12th consecutive session as investors eagerly await President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress Tuesday, which is expected to provide some details on tax cuts and an overhaul of the health-care system. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.08 percent to close at 20,837.44, up 5.44 percent year-to-date, while the S&P 500 Index gained 0.1 percent to close at 2,369.75, up 5.85 percent year-to-date.

“People are ultimately focused on what kind of tone President Trump will strike during his speech on Tuesday,” said Ian Winer, director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities. “The biggest risk to stocks would be a speech that is nationalistic and protectionist, something markets do not like,” Winer said.

“What I’m watching out for is whether his focus is on the pro-growth policies or on the populist message,” said Dan Miller, director of equities at GW&K Investment Management.

“Supply/demand outlook for both DRAM and NAND remain positive for 2017. Micron’s execution in the ramp of 18nm DRAM is much improved from prior nodes, in our view. Concerns about a 2H17 peak in NAND supply/demand trends are unwarranted, in our view, and we expect tightness throughout the year, notably as 2D capacity needs to be decommissioned in order for 3D capacity to ramp,” commented Gerra.
