Executive Summary
Micron delivered a transformational Q2 2026 with revenue nearly tripling year-over-year to $23.9B and gross margins hitting a record 75%. The company's Q3 guidance of $33.5B in revenue exceeds their entire annual revenue for every year through fiscal 2024. Management announced their first five-year Strategic Customer Agreement (SCA), marking a structural shift from one-year LTAs to multi-year supply commitments that provide unprecedented business model stability. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra emphasized that customers are receiving only 50-67% of their requested memory allocation, creating a supply-demand imbalance that extends beyond 2026. The company is ramping industry-leading 1γ DRAM and G9 NAND nodes, with both expected to constitute a majority of bit production by mid-2026. HBM4 volume shipments are underway for NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform, while HBM4E development targets 2027 production. Micron's data center SSD market share reached new records for the fourth consecutive year, with NAND demand significantly exceeding available supply. The Board approved a 30% dividend increase, reflecting confidence in sustained cash generation. With $16.7B in cash and $6.5B net cash position, Micron projects fiscal 2026 CapEx above $25B and meaningful increases in fiscal 2027 to address long-term demand. The combination of AI-driven memory intensity, structural supply constraints, and multi-year customer commitments creates a fundamentally different operating environment than historical memory cycles.
