On June 25, Micron Technology (MU.O) forecast on Wednesday that its revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter would exceed Wall Street expectations, highlighting the sustained robust demand for AI-related infrastructure, which is driving strong growth in demand for its memory chips. In response to this news, the company's stock price surged nearly 10% in after-hours trading. Micron Technology anticipates revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter to reach $50 billion (plus or minus $1 billion), significantly surpassing analysts' average estimate of $43.58 billion. This performance forecast indicates that the rapid development of generative AI has made memory products such as HBM indispensable key components for large data centers, thereby driving significant price increases.

We firmly believe that multi-year strategic customer agreements will significantly enhance the durability and predictability of Micron Technology's financial performance.'
