Micron Slips 4%: NVIDIA's HBM Supplier Just Posted Record Results, So Why Is It Falling?
"In fiscal Q1, Micron delivered record revenue and significant margin expansion at the company level and also in each of our business units. Revenue came in at $13.64 billion, up 56.6% year over year, crushing the $12.88 billion consensus estimate. Non-GAAP EPS of $4.78 beat the $3.94 estimate by over 21%. GAAP gross margins expanded to 56.0%, up from 38.4% a year ago."
"The Cloud Memory Business Unit was the standout, with revenue nearly doubling to $5.28 billion and gross margins hitting 66%. That's the HBM business, the high-bandwidth memory chips that power NVIDIA's AI GPUs. Furthermore, Micron's operating income surged 182% year over year to $6.14 billion, and free cash flow came in at $3.91 billion."
"Micron followed that with guidance that was equally aggressive: Q2 FY2026 revenue guided to $18.7 billion, with non-GAAP EPS of $8.42 and GAAP gross margins expected at 67%. MU shares had already run hard into these results. The stock was trading around $285 at the start of the year and closed at $461.73 the day before earnings, a gain of 61.78% year to date."
Micron Technology reported record fiscal Q2 2026 results with revenue of $13.64 billion, up 56.6% year-over-year, and non-GAAP EPS of $4.78, both significantly exceeding analyst estimates. The Cloud Memory Business Unit, which produces high-bandwidth memory chips for AI applications, nearly doubled revenue to $5.28 billion with 66% gross margins. Operating income surged 182% year-over-year to $6.14 billion, and free cash flow reached $3.91 billion. Forward guidance was equally strong, with Q2 FY2026 revenue projected at $18.7 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $8.42. Despite these exceptional results, shares fell 4% to $445, reflecting a classic market pattern where strong performance disappoints after significant pre-earnings gains already incorporated high expectations into the stock price.
