As one of the last stragglers of the reporting season, the memory manufacturer Micron Technology has opened his books at the middle of the week.
The memory manufacturer Micron Technology Micron Technology recorded a leap in profits in its third business quarter in 2025. The result per share rose from $ 0.300 to $ 1.91. So more than was expected to earn more than on the market: the analyst estimates had previously amounted to an EPS of $ 1.60.
Sales also attracted almost 37 percent-from $ 6.81 billion to $ 9.3 billion in the past report district. The analyst expectations, which had been in advance at sales of $ 8.86 billion, were also exceeded. The bottom line was made from 0.332 to almost $ 1.9 billion.
Micron Technology looks surprisingly optimistically into the future
The US chip manufacturer Micron benefits from the continued boom of artificial intelligence (AI). The company expects further growth after sales record in the third business quarter. In the final quarter (at the end of August), proceeds and profit are likely to increase more than expected from analysts. Above all, the AI-driven demand from data center operators is fueling the business. The recently excellently run share of up to two percent on Thursday in the first minutes of retail, but quickly turned into the minus and recently gave up $ 125.85 via Nasdaq.
The company has been in demand among investors for a long time, because the AI boom and the billion-dollar investments in this technology also make investors look more at papers beyond top shares such as Nvidia.
Micron has roughly doubled his course since the intermediate depth of the customs announcements by US President Donald Trump in April. This means that the micron share is one of the top values in the Nasdaq 100.
With a course plan of almost 160 percent in the past five years, Micron is one of the rather weaker chip titles. For comparison: since then, Nvidia shares have increased a little more than 1,500 percent; Broadcom almost 800 percent. With a stock market value of around $ 140 billion, Micron also lags behind many titles of the competition.
The good micron results and the optimistic forecast also drove the papers of German companies in the industry. In the meantime, for example, up to almost three percent rose in the Dax Infineon. Chip industries and suppliers such as Aixtron and were also in demand.
In the third quarter (at the end of May), sales of 15 percent climbed to $ 9.3 billion (around 8 billion euros) compared to the three months earlier, as the world’s largest memory chip manufacturer announced on Wednesday after the US AB’s conclusion. This was above the company forecast and the expectations of the analysts.
Micron increased its revenues with the ultra-fast and power-saving high-performance chips with the ultra-fast required for AI applications and almost 50 percent compared to the previous quarter. In this way, Micron lies in the area of plan, according to JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur, who certified the company “solid results and a strong outlook”.
Management around CEO Sanjay Mehrotra expects continued growth in this market, since the software is becoming increasingly complex and thus requires larger storage capacity.
For the fourth annual quarter, Micron therefore assumes $ 15 percent to $ 10.7 billion in the middle of the forecast span compared to the previous quarter, which is also clearly above the estimates of the market. Micron calculates with a bandwidth of plus/minus 300 million. The company sees the gross margin at 41 percent (plus/minus one percent), the adjusted result per share should increase to $ 2.50 in the middle of the range.
In the third quarter, Micron improved the gross margin to 37.7 percent, the adjusted profit per share increased to $ 1.91 and also exceeded expectations. Netto earned Micron almost $ 1.9 billion after $ 1.6 billion in the previous quarter.
Micron is on record course in this financial year, said CEO Mehrotra, according to the announcement. “We invest disciplined in order to expand our technology leadership and our manufacturing competence and to satisfy the growing demand for AI-controlled savings.” The company has already announced a billion -dollar expansion of its production capacities.
