Micron Stock Drops But Memory-Chip Prices Keep Rising
Micron stock was falling to kick off the third quarter but memory-chip prices were higher in June.
Micron Technology: Q3 Crushes Expectations As AI Memory Demand Accelerates
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's Hidden Growth Story
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: This Cycle Is Different
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.
