Micron Posts Record Revenue and Guides Higher Ahead of September 30 Earnings

The company’s blowout Q3 results and aggressive Q4 guidance set up the September 30 report as a test of whether AI-driven price strength and contract deals can keep margins elevated.

Overview

  • Micron reported record fiscal Q3 revenue of about $41.5 billion and net income of roughly $28.2 billion, with gross margin at 84.6% and guidance pointing to about 86% next quarter.
  • Management set a record fiscal Q4 revenue midpoint near $50 billion and has signed multiyear customer agreements and deposits that raise near-term revenue visibility.
  • Strong AI data‑center demand has pushed DRAM and HBM prices higher and flipped the market into tight supply conditions that many analysts say could persist into 2027.
  • Investors are weighing the rally—the share price trades near $1,000 with broad buy ratings and high price targets—against cyclical risks including competitor capacity ramps in 2027–28, macro pressure from rising rates and oil, and recent insider sales totaling about $182.2 million.
  • Micron is rapidly gaining DRAM share and sits roughly 1.6 percentage points behind SK Hynix, a shift driven by higher‑priced server DRAM sales even as HBM dynamics remain concentrated with other suppliers.
