A MILLION-DOLLAR IDEA. ๐ฐ๐ฅ
Micron Technology (MU) is an American semiconductor company that primarily specializes in memory and data storage. Simply put, Micron produces components without which modern servers, smartphones, computers, and AI data centers cannot function properly. ๐ง ๐พ
Basically, a direct competitor to SK Hynix.
But that's not the point. Let's take a look at their reports:
Micron just posted INSANE numbers. ๐คฏ
Q4 FY2026:
๐ฐ Revenue: $54.23B
๐ Forecast: $50.45B
๐ต EPS: $33.42
๐ Forecast: $31.16
And this is already the 4th quarter in a row where Micron has beaten expectations for both revenue and EPS.
Revenue growth:
Q1 โ $13.64B
Q2 โ $23.86B
Q3 โ $41.46B
Q4 โ $54.23B
That means quarterly revenue grew almost 4x in one year. ๐
And now the most interesting part โ margins.
Q4:
Gross Profit โ $47.05B
Gross Margin โ 86.8%
Operating Profit โ $43.75B
Operating Margin โ 80.7%
Net Profit โ $37.70B
A year earlier, gross margin was only 44.7%.
Why such an explosion?
AI. ๐ค
AI data centers need huge volumes of HBM, DRAM, and server SSDs.
And Micron is directly in this supply chain.
Data Center is especially interesting:
๐ฅ $18B revenue in Q4
๐ฅ 90% gross margin
๐ฅ 85% operating margin
And now the forecast:
Micron expects for Q1 FY2027:
๐ฐ Revenue โ ~$61.5B
๐ต EPS โ ~$38.15 non-GAAP
๐ Gross Margin โ ~86%
That means the company expects another record quarter. ๐
FY2026 overall:
Revenue โ $133.19B
Net Income โ $84.97B
Operating Cash Flow โ $89.68B
For comparison, a year earlier:
Revenue โ $37.38B
Net Income โ $8.54B
This is what happens when AI infrastructure starts consuming more and more memory. ๐คฏ
But there is an important nuance:
Micron is a cyclical business.
So the main question is no longer whether the company is growing.
It is.
The main question is how long the memory shortage, high prices, and such huge margins will last.
Personally, I am convinced that the shortage will persist for a long time, because this is not something that can be solved overnight.
That's exactly why $MU currently looks like one of the most interesting stories around AI infrastructure, alongside SK Hynix. ๐ฅ
