Micron Technology’s NAND Revenue Hits $2.7B, Comprising 20% of Sales on G9 Demand

MUMU

Micron Technology's NAND segment generated $2.7B in revenue, representing 20% of quarterly sales, driven by tight market supply and rising wafer prices. Strong demand for G9 wafers in AI and data center applications underpins margin expansion and potential growth leverage for the memory specialist.

1. NAND Revenue Surge Drives Portfolio Shift

Micron Technology reported NAND flash revenues of $2.7 billion in the most recent quarter, representing 20 percent of total company sales. Industry-wide tight supply and rising contract prices have bolstered Micron’s pricing power, while strong demand for its ninth-generation 3D NAND (G9) products is being fueled by data-center operators scaling AI workloads. Executives note that higher NAND ASPs contributed a mid-single-digit percentage uplift to gross margin in the quarter, underscoring the segment’s emerging role as a growth lever alongside DRAM.

2. Record Q1 Fiscal 2026 Results and Outlook

In the quarter ended November 27, Micron delivered revenue of $13.6 billion, up 57 percent year-over-year, and non-GAAP earnings of $4.78 per share, nearly a 2.7× increase from the year-ago period. Management has finalized price and volume agreements for its entire calendar-2026 high-bandwidth memory (HBM) supply, effectively selling out capacity for next year. For Q2, the company is guiding revenue between $18.3 billion and $19.1 billion—implying a greater than 100 percent annual revenue increase—and anticipates sequential record levels of gross margin, EPS, and free cash flow.

3. Valuation Remains Attractive Despite AI-Driven Growth

Analysts forecast Micron’s full-year earnings to surge by 288 percent to $32.14 per share, driven by both volume and ASP gains in HBM and commodity DRAM. At under 10× forward P/E, Micron trades at a significant discount to peers in the high-performance memory space. With major AI chip designers—Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom and hyperscalers—locked into multi-year memory contracts, investors are viewing Micron’s current valuation as an asymmetrical risk/reward opportunity in the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure market.
