Micron Earnings: What to Expect as AI Demand Drives Growth

Micron Earnings Loom

This week, Micron (MU), one of the hottest companies on Wall Street, will report earnings. The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock will report Q4 fiscal 2026 financial results after the market close on Wednesday, September 30^th. Over the past few years, Micron has become one of the world’s leading providers of semiconductor memory solutions. The company is benefiting from AI-driven demand for memory and storage, tighter DRAM and NAND supply, and a richer mix of HBM, data center SSD, and high-capacity products. Micron shares have gained a scorching-hot return of 560% over the past year as the stock has become a favorite among growth-oriented technology investors.

Micron: What Does Wall Street Expect?

Micron’s growth trajectory has been nothing short of spectacular. In Q3, Micron reported a $28.24 billion profit, making it one of the most profitable companies on Wall Street. For context, Micron generated just $25 billion in profit in all of 2024.

Believe it or not, Wall Street analysts expect Micron’s growth trajectory to continue this quarter. Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest revenue will grow 349.48% while earnings per share will skyrocket 937.95% year over year.

Micron: A Consistent Earnings Winner

Although analyst expectations have risen given the stock’s performance, the company has consistently beaten Wall Street expectations. In fact, Micron has beaten Zacks Consensus Analyst Estimates for 13 consecutive quarters.

Meanwhile, Micron has surpassed Wall Street’s expectations by a healthy 21.06% on average over the past four quarters.

Micron: What to Expect After Earnings

The options market is currently implying a post-EPS announcement move of plus or minus 8-9.9% or $87 to $108 based on the current share price. Meanwhile, although Micron’s stock performance has been incredible, most of the move has come from non-earnings days. Over the past 14 quarters, Micron shares closed higher the day after earnings 6 times and lower 8 times, reflecting a coin-flip-like tendency.

Micron: What to Look For

Wall Street investors will be curious whether Micron can maintain its strong pricing power. Investors will also want to hear the latest guidance on AI data center deployments.
