Micron stock was falling to kick off the third quarter but memory-chip prices were higher in June.
Micron Technology delivered a record Q3 FY26, with revenue up 346% to $41.26B, driven by explosive AI data center-related demand. Strong operating leverage from volume expansion and higher pricing should support industry-leading margins beyond FY26. AI-driven demand, supply constraints, and architectural shifts in data centers are expected to sustain strong pricing and topline growth through FY27.
Micron holds over $24 billion in cash and investments, while customers have committed approximately $22 billion, including $18 billion in cash deposits. The DRAM market has consolidated into a three-player oligopoly, with management expecting AI-driven memory supply constraints to persist well beyond 2027. Strategic Customer Agreements already cover roughly half of future sales, improving earnings visibility through multiyear, take-or-pay commitments backed by customer capital.
Micron Technology, Inc. remains a (cautious) long despite recent volatility and cyclical concerns, supported by robust AI-driven demand. MU's strategic customer agreements (SCAs) now cover $100 billion in minimum contracted revenue and $22 billion in commitments, reducing cyclicality and boosting margin visibility. Supply-demand conditions for DRAM and NAND are expected to remain tight beyond 2027, with the memory cycle unlikely to peak before 2028.
Micron (MU) shares have started gaining and might continue moving higher in the near term, as indicated by solid earnings estimate revisions.
