Micron moves to profit on acquisition

Micron Technology moves to profit in 1st quarter, helped by Elpida acquisition

The Associated Press

NEWS: Micron Technology Inc. shares jumped in extended trading Tuesday after the chip maker moved to a profit for its fiscal first quarter with help from a recent acquisition.

DETAILS: The company got a major revenue boost from its acquisition of semiconductor maker Elpida Memory Inc. in July.

NUMBERS: Micron reported net income of $358 million, or 30 cents per share, for the quarter that ended on Nov. 28. That's compared with a loss of $275 million, or 27 cents per share, in the same quarter in 2012.

After adjusting for a settlement with chip maker Rambus and other special items, earnings rose to 77 cents per share from 29 cents per share.

Revenue more than doubled to $4.04 billion from $1.83 billion, due largely to the acquisition.

Analysts polled by FactSet were anticipating earnings of 52 cents per share on revenue of $3.72 billion.

STOCK: Shares of the Boise, Idaho-based company increased 6 percent to $23.06 in after-hours trading. Its stock added $1.06 to close regular trading at $21.73 Tuesday, more than triple its value from a year ago.
