Micron Technology
Memory pure-play and one of three HBM suppliers globally (vs SK hynix, Samsung). Q3 FY2026 (June 24) revenue quadrupled YoY to $41.46B with data-center revenue above $25B in the quarter; the company signed 16 take-or-pay Strategic Customer Agreements locking roughly $100B in minimum contracted revenue through 2030 and guided Q4 to ~$50B. The take-or-pay backlog with upfront customer deposits shifts a historically cyclical commodity toward contracted-revenue visibility. HBM3E is qualified into NVIDIA Blackwell; HBM4 is ramping, with HBM bit growth outpacing total DRAM.
Scenarios
HBM TAM grows from $20B (2024) to $100B+ (2027) — Micron from <5% to 20-25% share creates structural revenue lift. NAND demand returns as inference deployment scales beyond hyperscaler training clusters.
Memory remains cyclical and commoditized — HBM premium pricing erodes as Samsung/SK hynix capacity ramps. Capital intensity (>$15B/year capex) eats FCF in down-cycles. Customer concentration on NVIDIA + 2-3 hyperscalers.
Key Factors to Watch
- ●Q3 FY2026 (June 24) — revenue $41.46B (quadrupled YoY), data center >$25B/quarter, Q4 guide ~$50B
- ●16 take-or-pay Strategic Customer Agreements lock ~$100B contracted revenue through 2030
- ●HBM3E qualified at NVIDIA Blackwell; HBM4 ramping, HBM bit growth outpaces total DRAM
- ●Three-supplier oligopoly (Micron, SK hynix, Samsung) limits price race-to-bottom near-term
