Let's see which of these two options may be the right one for investors heading into Micron's earnings report.</p>\n<h2>Reasons to sell</h2>\n<p>Memory industry market research provider TrendForce projects that the DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) market is set for difficult times ahead on account of weak demand. The firm estimates that prices of DRAM could drop between 3% and 8% in the current quarter over the previous one, followed by a more substantial drop of 8% to 13% in the first quarter of 2022.</p>\n<p>TrendForce said it believes weak pricing will be triggered by a drop in demand across the PC, server, mobile, consumer, and graphics cards markets as procurement slows down and oversupply sets in. For comparison, DRAM prices had reportedly increased 3% to 8% quarter over quarter in the third quarter of calendar 2021.</p>\n<p>Now, this looks like bad news for Micron Technology since it gets 74% of its revenue from the DRAM market. A sizable drop in DRAM prices is likely to knock the wind out of the company's sails, as this segment has been the driving force behind its growth. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, Micron's DRAM revenue was up 39% year over year to $6.1 billion. For the full fiscal year, Micron witnessed a 38% spike in DRAM revenue to $20 billion, which represented 72% of its total annual revenue.</p>\n<p>The impressive spike in DRAM revenue was driven by a combination of higher shipments and stronger pricing. So, Micron has a lot to lose from a slowdown in this market. This is the reason investors who are wary about the company's near-term prospects may want to offload the stock after its latest rally, which has put Micron in positive territory after a terrible performance for most of the year.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1085d95856a0c789a9c5ee651dc51b3a\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>MU data by YCharts</p>\n<h2>Reasons to buy</h2>\n<p>Micron's fiscal 2022 first-quarter guidance shows that it won't be running out of steam.
