Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) delivered stronger-than-expected fiscal third-quarter results and issued upbeat guidance, fueled by surging demand for AI-related memory products.
The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.91 per share on $9.3 billion in revenue, topping analyst estimates of $1.59 EPS and $8.84 billion in revenue. A key driver of the performance was a nearly 50% sequential jump in sales of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips—crucial components in AI data centers that support next-gen computing workloads.
Looking ahead, Micron provided fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $10.7 billion, plus or minus $300 million, well above the $9.88 billion Wall Street consensus. The strong forecast highlights the company’s increasing leverage to AI infrastructure growth, with HBM demand emerging as a major revenue catalyst.
The upbeat results and guidance reinforce Micron’s positioning as a key supplier in the AI-driven semiconductor cycle, with investors responding positively to the accelerating momentum in high-performance memory solutions.
