Micron Has Strong Q3 Earnings and Rising Guidance. Is It a Buy?

Stocks & Finance

Micron (MU) earns a high-confidence BUY at $928.59 despite a 14% weekly drop, backed by $50B Q4 guidance and $100B in locked customer agreements.

Peers Sandisk (SNDK) and Western Digital (WDC) confirm the AI memory boom, with Sandisk posting 251% revenue growth at 78% margins, making Micron's target look conservative.

Mehrotra warned DRAM demand will exceed supply beyond 2027, but CXMT's $8.5B IPO is the single risk that could unravel Micron's bull case.

Chip stocks have taken a hit this week, and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) sits at the center of the pullback. After a historic run through the first half of 2026, shares have surrendered ground on TSMC capex worries, Chinese competitor CXMT's planned IPO, and chatter about potential HBM export controls.

Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for Micron is $928.59, implying 8.84% upside from Thursday's close of $853.20. Recommendation: Buy at high confidence.

Micron is down 13.96% over the past week and 16.4% over the past month, yet still sits on a 199.12% year-to-date gain and trades 19% below its 52-week high of $1,254.81.

Fiscal Q3 2026, reported June 24, 2026, delivered revenue of $41.46 billion (up 345.7% year over year), non-GAAP EPS of $25.11, and gross margin of 84.9%. Q4 guidance points to $50 billion in revenue and roughly 86% gross margins. The selling reflects sentiment shifts while fundamentals remain strong.

The bull case rests on a structural memory shortage. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra told analysts "DRAM and NAND industry demand continues to significantly exceed industry supply. We expect tight conditions to persist beyond calendar 2027."

Micron has already shipped over $1 billion in HBM4 revenue, with 16 Strategic Customer Agreements covering roughly $100 billion in remaining performance obligations.

KeyBanc raised its target to $1,750 during the pullback. The bull scenario reaches $1,330.10 within twelve months, a 55.9% return if HBM pricing and SCA volumes track management's plan.
