Micron Technology (MU) has drawn fresh stock price targets and bullish forecasts tied to AI-driven memory demand, spotlighting the company’s guidance issued June 24 and focusing investor attention on its Sept. 30 fiscal fourth-quarter report.
Guidance and Reporting Schedule
Micron’s fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 guidance calls for revenue between $49 billion and $51 billion, a non-GAAP gross margin near 86%, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $30 to $32, according to the company’s investor-relations release on June 24, 2026. This guidance has set a high bar for the upcoming quarter.
Recent coverage cited Micron’s fiscal third-quarter revenue of $41.46 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $25.11, compared with consensus estimates of $35.91 billion and $21.39. The company is scheduled to report fiscal fourth-quarter results on Sept. 30 after the U.S. market close, with a conference call at 2:30 p.m. Mountain Time.
Analyst Targets and Drivers
Analyst price targets cluster between $1,500 and $1,625, reflecting bullish valuations driven by tight markets for DRAM and NAND memory, rising demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and elevated AI memory spending. One estimate attributed to Goldman Sachs projects fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $51.9 billion, an 87.3% gross margin, and $32.54 in non-GAAP EPS.
Secondary commentary cites roughly $100 billion in minimum-price revenue tied to 16 Strategic Customer Agreements extending through 2027. These contracts, if confirmed, would underpin the long-term revenue outlook.
Risks and Strategic Implications
Risks that could weaken the bullish case include a slowdown in AI-memory demand, lower returns from large capacity investments, pressure on memory pricing and margins, and potential labor tensions in Taiwan that might disrupt operations. Analysts’ projections depend on sustained AI demand and successful execution of capacity expansions. The Sept. 30 report will be closely watched for signs that AI-driven demand and contractual commitments are translating into the top-line growth and margins reflected in recent forecasts.
