Comments
Micron Technology reported another strong quarter for the first three months of FY26, posting revenue of $13.64 billion—above prior guidance—and delivering 21% sequential growth and 57% year-over-year growth. These results reflect well-timed and effective strategic decisions aligned with evolving memory demand and market dynamics.
Over the past six months, the company has generated nearly $25 billion in revenue, matching its full-year total for 2024. Annualized run rate has now exceeded $42 billion, already about $5 billion higher than total FY25 revenue. Looking ahead, the outlook for 2Q26 stands at $18 billion, suggesting full-year FY26 revenue in the $70–80 billion range—more than double that of FY25. This performance highlights both the momentum of the memory sector and the intensifying competition among leading players.

From a product mix perspective, DRAM overwhelmingly dominates the revenue profile, accounting for nearly 80% (79%) of total sales at $10.8 billion. This segment grew 20% quarter over quarter and surged 69% year over year. NAND contributed the remaining 20%, generating $2.7 billion, with growth of 22% both sequentially and year over year. By contrast, the NOR business remains marginal, with revenue of just $88 million.
Across multiple segments - including DRAM, NAND, HBM, and data center offerings - Micron Technology achieved record revenue levels, underscoring the broad-based strength of its product portfolio.

As AI continues to fuel demand across the memory market, the total addressable market for HBM is now projected to approach $100 billion by 2028. Micron Technology is positioning itself as a key enabler of AI platforms, with a clear ambition to strengthen its footprint in the U.S. market.
To focus resources on this massive and strategic opportunity, the company recently announced the discontinuation of its Crucial consumer activities, redirecting its efforts toward data center and enterprise requirements, where competitive pressure and demand intensity are highest. In the months ahead, manufacturing capacity and pricing dynamics will be critical factors. Market analysts are closely monitoring both, as they will directly influence financial performance, data center and neo-cloud operators, and ultimately end-user projects.
