The market’s most important stocks, simplified

Micron Technology (MU) reported strong financial results for its fiscal first quarter of 2026, surpassing analyst expectations. Revenue reached $13.64 billion, exceeding the consensus estimate of $12.83 billion, with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $4.78, above the expected $3.95. This represents a year-over-year revenue growth of 20.5%. Operating cash flow increased to $8.41 billion, up from $5.73 billion in the prior quarter, while adjusted free cash flow reached $3.9 billion. The company ended the quarter with $12 billion in cash, marketable investments, and restricted cash. For the second quarter, Micron forecasts revenue of $18.7 billion (plus or minus $400 million) and adjusted EPS of $8.42 (plus or minus 20 cents), driven by higher pricing, lower costs, and an improved product mix. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 are expected to rise to approximately $20 billion, with new fabrication facilities in Idaho and New York planned for 2027 and 2026, respectively. Micron’s growth is fueled by strong demand for memory products, particularly in AI and data center markets. Analysts have highlighted the company’s role in AI infrastructure, with projections of a 20% share in the HBM market, which is expected to grow at an annual rate of 40% through 2028. DRAM and NAND bit demand growth for calendar 2025 is forecasted in the low 20% and high teens, respectively, with supply likely to remain below demand. Positive analyst sentiment has followed the earnings announcement, with price targets raised as high as $500. Micron also declared a quarterly dividend of 11.5 cents per share, payable on January 14, 2026, reflecting an annual yield of 0.16%. The company’s stock has gained momentum, supported by its robust financial performance and optimistic guidance.
