Comments
Micron delivered a new solid quarter for the first 3 months of FY26 at $13.64 billion, above previous guidance, showing a growth of 21% sequentially and 57% YoY, which demonstrated good and clever choices around memory and market demands. The last 6 months have generated almost $25 billion which was the annual revenue of 2024, the ARR passed $42 billion, already $5 billion above 2025 revenue. The 2Q26 outlook shows $18 billion. We can fairly estimate an annual revenue between $70 and $80 billion for FY26 which appears to be more than the double of FY 2025. It illustrates the dynamism of the sector and the battle among top players.

At the same time, to dedicated resources on this gigantic business and strategic opportunity, the company announced recently the stop of Crucial consumer activity and will concentrate its effort on datacenter and enterprises needs as the market pressure is high. Production then pricing are 2 key concerns in the coming months and market observers scrutinize this carefully as it will impact companies' results, data centers and neoclouds players and at the end end-users projects.
