Micron Forecasts Quarterly Revenue Above Estimates

Micron said customers have locked in most of its 2027 output as AI memory shortages pushed quarterly revenue to a record $54.23 billion.

  • On Wednesday, Micron Technology reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $54.23 billion, beating estimates as AI-driven demand fueled record results. The company guided fiscal first-quarter revenue of $61.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $38.15.
  • Unprecedented AI demand continues to outpace memory supply, prompting Micron to secure 26 strategic customer agreements backed by $32 billion in financial commitments. These contracts lock in volumes through 2030 amid persistent global shortage.
  • Fourth-Quarter adjusted gross margin hit a record 87%, driven by surging high-bandwidth memory sales. This profitability generated $33.2 billion in adjusted free cash flow, strengthening Micron's capacity expansion internally.
  • CEO Sanjay Mehrotra emphasized that memory tightness will persist into 2027 and 2028 as supply cannot yet meet AI demand. He confirmed most of Micron's 2027 high-bandwidth memory output is already sold out.
  • Capital expenditures are set to exceed $250 billion through 2035, raising questions about margin sustainability. Management argues the AI era represents a structural shift challenging historical boom-and-bust cycles.
