    Micron Q4 FY2026 guidance implies ~$35B quarterly profit on record memory pricing

    Question

    Micron Q4 FY2026 guidance implies ~$35B quarterly profit on record memory pricing

    Direct answer

    Micron Technology's forward guidance indicates quarterly net profits approaching $35 billion for Q4 FY2026, catalyzed by record pricing across DRAM and High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. Tight supply across advanced packaging nodes has bolstered pricing power across high-density server configurations. The sustainability of these profit margins into fiscal 2027 depends on supply additions from peer fabricators and enterprise AI capex continuity from major cloud providers.
