Revenue Explosion

The company’s DRAM sales hit $18.8 billion, a 207% YoY jump, and NAND revenue topped $5 billion, up 169% YoY, underscoring the AI boom’s appetite for high‑performance memory.

Margin Milestone

Gross margin reached a company record of 75%, a 4‑point lift from Q1, driven by higher DRAM mix and disciplined cost control amid rising silicon expenses.

Dividend Boost

Micron announced a 30% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.15, signaling confidence in sustained cash flow and a commitment to shareholder returns.

CapEx Outlook

Fiscal 2026 CapEx is projected above $25 billion, with a Q3 spend of roughly $7 billion, and fiscal 2027 CapEx will rise further to fund HBM and DRAM expansion.

Supply‑Demand Tightness

Both DRAM and NAND demand in 2026 will be constrained by supply, prompting Micron to add a new NAND fab in Singapore and a second cleanroom at its Idaho site.

Strategic Capacity Agreements

The firm completed one SCA and is negotiating several others, providing multi‑year visibility and enabling tighter collaboration on next‑generation HBM architecture (Sanjay Mehrotra).

R&D Investment

Micron plans to boost R&D in fiscal 2027, targeting AI‑centric memory solutions and HBM4, while maintaining a 27.69% ROIC that fuels future product innovation.

Free Cash Flow & Balance Sheet

With $16.7 billion in cash and investments and a net cash balance of $6.5 billion, the company repurchased $350 million of shares and cut debt by $1.6 billion, achieving a net debt/EBITDA of –0.05.

Future Guidance & Risks

Guided Q3 revenue of $33.5 billion, a gross margin of 81%, and record EPS of $19.15 signal upside, yet market conditions remain tight beyond 2026, potentially compressing margins despite higher HBM4 demand.
