BACKGROUND:

Micron is the largest U.S. maker of memory chips: DRAM, including the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) stacked next to AI accelerators, and NAND flash. Memory is one of the most cyclical industries in public markets. In the eleven years before fiscal 2026 Micron's operating margin ranged from −37% (FY2023) to 49% (FY2018) and averaged 17.5%, and cumulative free cash flow of $15.2 billion was less than a third of the $48.9 billion of net income, because about 37% of revenue is reinvested in fabs and equipment.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:

On 9/30/26 Micron reported a record fiscal 2026 (53 weeks to 9/3/26): revenue rose 256% to $133.2 billion, GAAP operating margin was 74.6%, net income was $85.0 billion and diluted EPS $74.33. These results are unaudited until the 10-K is filed. Management guides first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue to $61.5 billion ± $1.5 billion at a gross margin of about 86%. Net debt has turned into $68 billion of net cash within a year, and multi-year take-or-pay contracts with price floors are in place.

PROSPECTS:

At $1,065.11 the shares sell at 14.3× trailing GAAP earnings and 6.6× fiscal 2027 consensus, but at 8.7× book value against a 1.2–2.5× range at fiscal year-ends 2015–2025. The contracts reduce the risk of a collapse but do not remove it, their terms are largely undisclosed, and industry capacity is growing quickly. In our view earnings are at the top of a record cycle: holding EPS at the fiscal 2028 consensus, our base case returns about 2.4% a year, below our 10% hurdle.
