Micron Revenue Quadruples to $54.23 Billion, Forecasts $61.5 Billion on AI Memory Demand

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Sep 30

Summary

  • $54.23 billion in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue nearly quadrupled from $11.32 billion a year earlier, while adjusted EPS of $33.42 beat the $31.61 LSEG consensus.
  • Micron also guided fiscal first-quarter revenue to about $61.5 billion and adjusted EPS to $38.15, both above analyst expectations of $57 billion and $35.40.
  • AI-driven memory shortages powered the surge: DRAM revenue jumped 343% to $39.8 billion, or 73% of sales, as demand for high-bandwidth memory outstripped supply.
  • To expand capacity, Micron is investing $250 billion in new HBM campuses in New York and Idaho, while CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said the company is working with Nvidia on a custom HBM product.
  • The boom has lifted Micron shares more than 500% over the past year and pushed up memory costs across electronics, even as labor tensions have threatened strikes at its Taiwan factories.

Insights

Micron’s stock has soared, but is this the start of a new memory era—or the peak of an AI-driven supply squeeze?
With Micron crushing estimates and HBM supply still tight, who really wins the AI boom: chipmakers, cloud giants, or locked-out buyers?
