Better Buy: Micron Technology vs. Lumentum
Micron (NASDAQ: MU) and Lumentum (NASDAQ: LITE) both provide essential components for electronic devices. Micron is one of the world's largest producers of DRAM and NAND memory chips, while Lumentum produces optical chips, 3D-sensing chips, and commercial lasers.
Over the past 12 months, Micron's stock has rallied more than 50% as memory prices passed a cyclical trough and started rising again. But Lumentum's stock stayed nearly flat as pandemic-related disruptions of its commercial laser business offset the stable sales of its optical and 3D-sensing chips.
