Micron revenue almost triples, tops estimates as demand for memory soars

Micron's revenue reached $23.86 billion with adjusted EPS of $12.20, driven by strong demand for Nvidia AI chip memory, surpassing analyst estimates for fiscal Q2.

  • Micron reported revenue nearly tripled to $23.86 billion for its fiscal Q2 ended February 2026, topping LSEG consensus estimates of $20.07 billion while adjusted earnings per share reached $12.20 versus $9.31 expected.
  • Soaring demand for Nvidia graphics processing units running generative artificial intelligence models drives Micron's growth; each new generation of Nvidia chip requires significantly more memory, creating a supply crunch.
  • Executives project fiscal Q3 revenue of $33.5 billion, plus or minus $750 million, with adjusted earnings per share of $19.15, both figures significantly exceeding consensus estimates of $23.66 billion and $11.29.
  • Micron continues expanding production capacity alongside competitors Samsung and SK Hynix, though the company previously reported supporting only 50% to two-thirds of key customer demand, signaling industry-wide supply constraints.
  • Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore noted investors are focused on LTA agreement structures and 2027 demand projections; Executives are scheduled to discuss results on a conference call starting at 4:30 p.m. ET.
