Micron Wins Strong Buy Calls After $41.46 Billion Quarter as Stock Nears $1.3 Trillion

3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jun 30

Summary

  • $41.46 billion in fiscal third-quarter revenue and $25.11 EPS pushed Micron to a new all-time high and triggered roughly two dozen analyst upgrades or new ratings, with no major downgrades.
  • Revenue jumped nearly 350% from a year earlier and 74% sequentially, driven by data-center demand now running above a $100 billion annualized pace; Micron guided for $50 billion revenue and $31 EPS next quarter.
  • Sixteen new strategic customer agreements added $22 billion in deposits and commitments, and 14 of them carry about $100 billion in cumulative revenue potential over five years through 2030.
  • Wall Street's bullishness also reflects Micron's core products being effectively sold out through at least 2027, giving the company unusual revenue visibility as it expands capacity.
  • Even after a 700%-plus run over the past year, Micron trades at about 11 times projected fiscal 2027 earnings, though that case still depends on AI spending and pricing power holding up.
