Micron Q2: $23.9B revenue, record 75% gross margin as AI memory demand stays tight

Micron's FY2026 Q2 results reinforce the AI-memory demand thesis: revenue grew 196% YoY to $23.9B with a record 75% gross margin, and management raised guidance to ~$33.5B revenue at ~81% gross margin for Q3. Tight DRAM and NAND supply, the HBM4 ramp, and the first five-year Strategic Customer Agreement support pricing and margin visibility, though the sustainability of ~81% margins and the pace of PC/smartphone demand remain the key open questions.

Transcript intelligence

What changed

Revenue, gross margin and EPS all rose sharply and beat consensus (EPS $12.20 vs $9.19 estimated; revenue $23.86B vs $19.97B estimated). Management again raised guidance to record Q3 revenue of ~$33.5B at ~81% gross margin, up from Q2's 75%. Micron lifted FY2026 capex above $25B, raised its dividend 30%, and signed its first five-year Strategic Customer Agreement.

Guidance delta

raised

Key takeaways

  • Revenue surged 196% YoY to $23.9B, with DRAM at 79% of sales and a record 75% gross margin
  • Q3 guidance projects ~$33.5B revenue at roughly 81% gross margin, a further step up
  • FY2026 capex raised above $25B to fund HBM, 1-gamma DRAM, G9 NAND and new fabs
  • Product pipeline includes 1-gamma DRAM, G9 NAND, HBM4/HBM4E, LPDDR6 and a 122TB SSD
  • Strong cash generation supports a 30% dividend increase, buybacks and debt reduction

Management priorities

  • Ramp 1-gamma DRAM to the majority of bit mix by mid-2026 and G9 NAND to majority by then
  • Scale HBM4 (including NVIDIA collaboration) and launch HBM4E in 2027, with EUV at the 1-delta node
  • Expand the global manufacturing footprint: Tongluo, Idaho, New York, Hiroshima, Singapore and India
  • Increase FY2027 R&D spending to support AI-related memory technologies

Methodology

Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.

Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.

Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
