    Micron Q4 FY2026 guidance indicates record quarterly profit on memory pricing

    Question

    Micron Q4 FY2026 guidance indicates record quarterly profit on memory pricing

    Direct answer

    Micron Technology forward guidance for Q4 FY2026 reflects net profit potential of approximately $35 billion, driven by sustained strength in DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) contract pricing. The earnings pace hinges on memory pricing maintaining current premium levels as AI accelerator demand absorbs tight advanced packaging and fabrication capacity.
