Micron trades at about 6x forward earnings as $38 billion of new capacity is slated to arrive no earlier than December 2028
AI Market Summary
Micron's quarterly results and guidance imply continued AI-driven DRAM/NAND tightness, with profitability and cash flow accelerating sharply. The key incremental supply response highlighted (SK Hynix's $38B fab build) is scheduled for clean-room readiness starting late 2028, suggesting near-term supply relief is limited. Multi-year take-or-pay contracts further reduce cyclical downside sensitivity, supporting sustained sector earnings visibility.

Micron Technology’s latest quarterly results showed revenue surged more than 400% year over year to $41.5 billion, while gross margin jumped to 84.6% from 37.7% a year earlier and operating cash flow rose to $25.4 billion. The company guided for about $50 billion of revenue next quarter, gross margin of about 86%, and earnings per share of about $30.73. With the stock around $878, that implies a forward P/E of roughly 6x based on the next 12 months’ expected earnings. Separately, SK Hynix has committed $38 billion to new fabs, with the earliest production timing not until after December 2028, suggesting near-term memory supply tightness may persist.
