    Micron Q4 Guidance Points to $35B Profit on High Memory Pricing and AI Demand

    Question

    Micron Q4 Guidance Points to $35B Profit on High Memory Pricing and AI Demand

    Direct answer

    Micron Technology's forward guidance points to an unprecedented quarterly profit run rate of roughly $35 billion for Q4 FY2026, supported by structural pricing power in advanced memory products. Sustaining this profit trajectory depends on DRAM and HBM contract prices remaining at peak levels across enterprise data center and accelerator deployments.
