Micron Technology needs 20.2% annual cash-flow growth in my model. Too much?

The market is asking a lot from Micron Technology.

At $924.03, today's price only works in my model if cash flow grows about 20.2% a year for the next 10 years. Recently, reported FCF fell about 18.8% a year (FY2022-FY2025). The hurdle uses unlevered cash flow; the historical figure above measures reported FCF.

Two operating details behind the valuation:

\\- Q3 FY2026: Micron Technology's latest-quarter revenue grew 346% year over year, compared with 196% year-over-year growth in the previous reported quarter.

\\- Micron Technology's reported FCF margin is 29.0%, up from 10.1% in the oldest comparable period.

Even my bull case is only $594, below today's $924.03 price. That is a demanding hurdle. Either the company keeps outperforming for years, or the stock has little room for disappointment.

Model assumptions: 11.5% discount rate and 2.5% long-run growth. These are assumptions, not a forecast of the share price.

What could break the case: Semiconductors are cyclical.

Is the market right to expect more, or is the stock priced for too much?
