Micron Crushes Q3 on AI Memory Demand, Guides to $50B Q4 With 86% Margins

Micron's fiscal Q3 results mark a step-change in the AI memory cycle. Revenue nearly doubled sequentially to $41.5 billion at an 84.9% gross margin, driven by tight DRAM and HBM supply meeting surging data-center demand. The signing of 16 strategic customer agreements with $22 billion in cash deposits transforms revenue visibility, while Q4 guidance of approximately $50 billion at 86% margin signals the cycle has further to run. However, a 24% post-earnings drift lower suggests the market is weighing how much upside is already priced in at current levels. With the stock at $900 against a consensus target of $1,576, the gap between fundamental momentum and near-term price action is wide.

What changed

Revenue jumped from $23.9B in Q2 to $41.5B in Q3, a 74% sequential increase, while gross margin expanded from 75% to 84.9%. The company moved from a single five-year SCA to 16 SCAs covering roughly 40% of future revenue. Capital deployment broadened with a multiyear EUV supply agreement with ASML and accelerated fab construction across Idaho, Taiwan, and Singapore. EPS of $25.11 beat consensus by approximately 20%.

Guidance delta

Guidance was raised. Q4 FY2026 outlook projects record revenue of approximately $50B, 86% gross margin, and ~$31 EPS, up from Q3 actuals of $41.5B revenue and 84.9% margin. In the prior quarter, Q3 guidance was $33.5B at roughly 81% margin; actuals exceeded that by a wide margin, coming in at $41.5B and 84.9%.

Key takeaways

  • Record Q3 revenue of $41.5B, up 74% sequentially and 346% year-over-year, driven by AI-related DRAM and NAND demand.
  • Gross margin reached 84.9%, a new high, with EPS of $25.11 beating consensus by approximately 20%.
  • Sixteen strategic customer agreements covering roughly 40% of future revenue with floor-price margins above historic peaks.
  • Cash deposits of $22B secured from SCA commitments, providing immediate liquidity and demand visibility.
  • Q4 guidance points to approximately $50B revenue, 86% gross margin, and ~$31 EPS.
  • Supply constraints for DRAM and NAND expected to persist through and beyond 2027.

Management priorities

  • Continue signing and executing SCAs across data-center, automotive, and consumer markets.
  • Ramp 1-gamma DRAM and G9 NAND to highest-volume nodes.
  • Achieve first wafer output from Idaho ID1 fab by mid-2027 and ID2 by late 2028.
  • Complete clean-room expansion at Taiwan Tongluo site and bring Singapore packaging to HBM capacity by H1 2027.
  • Increase R&D spend to support next-generation memory technologies including the 1-delta DRAM node.

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.
