Micron Financial Report Key Points: Long-term agreements cover up to 2030, securing $100 billion in guaranteed revenue

Odaily Odaily reported that Micron released its financial report this morning. The key points are summarized as follows:

1. Performance (Reported Quarter)

Quarterly revenue was $41.46 billion (some sources report $41.5 billion), exceeding market expectations of approximately $35.8 billion.

Adjusted EPS was $25.11, above market expectations of ~$20.7-$20.8.

Gross margin was 84.9%, higher than the market estimate of 81.9%.

2. Next Quarter Guidance (Q4)

Revenue guidance is $49 billion to $51 billion, with a midpoint of $50 billion, above the market estimate of $43.24 billion.

Adjusted EPS guidance is $30 to $32, with a midpoint of $31, exceeding the market estimate of $25.31.

3. Long-Term Agreements (LTA/SCA) and Customer Commitments

Micron has signed 16 long-term strategic customer agreements, primarily covering the period from 2026 to the end of 2030. The agreements include take-or-pay clauses. Management estimates these agreements correspond to approximately $100 billion in guaranteed revenue. The company will receive about $22 billion in cash deposits and financial commitments. The signed agreements cover roughly 20% of DRAM production and about one-third of NAND production during the respective periods. Management expects that approximately half or more of future revenue will be covered by long-term agreements.

4. Supply-Demand Dynamics and Industry Outlook

The company expects tight supply-demand conditions for DRAM and NAND to persist until after 2027. DRAM industry shipment growth in 2026 is projected at 20%-25%, an upward revision from previous guidance. NAND industry shipment growth in 2026 is expected to be around 20%, in line with previous expectations.

Micron's DRAM supply growth is expected to be broadly in line with the industry. Micron's NAND supply growth is expected to be slightly below the industry average.

5. Capital Expenditure and Capital Returns

Market feedback indicates that the company's capital expenditure is in line with expectations. No significant aggressive expansion plans have been observed. The company stated that Q4 will see a significant increase in capital returns. The $22 billion in customer prepayments represent roughly one-third of the company's capital expenditure over the next two years.
