"An increase in memory demand driven by AI, structural supply constraints and Micron's strong execution across the board. Over time, we expect the value of on-device AI to drive strong memory content growth in PCs and smartphones. We see an unprecedented set of opportunities for memory and storage to enable the AI era across market segments and expect to meaningfully increase our R&D investments in fiscal 2027."
"Autonomous cars will need 300 gigabytes of DRAM or more, and humanoid robots will need similar quantities, leading memory-maker Micron Technology to predict it has a long and happy future ahead of it. The company is now signing strategic customer agreements that differ from its previous long-term agreements because they involve specific commitments over a multi-year time horizon for improved visibility and stability in our business model."
Micron Technology reported exceptional financial results for Q2 2026, with revenue reaching $23.86 billion, nearly triple the previous year's $8.053 billion. Net income surged to $13.8 billion compared to $1.58 billion in Q2 2025. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra attributed this growth to increased memory demand from AI applications, structural supply constraints, and strong company execution. Micron is implementing new multi-year strategic customer agreements to provide business stability and visibility. The company expects a 20 percent output boost from new manufacturing processes launching later in 2026. While PC and smartphone shipments may decline in the low double-digits due to memory shortages, long-term growth is anticipated from on-device AI driving memory content expansion. Autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots will require substantial DRAM quantities, positioning Micron favorably for future demand.
