Episode notes
Micron's Revenue Surge From AI Data Centers
- Micron reported nearly $24B revenue in Q2 FY2026, roughly triple year-over-year, driven primarily by AI data center demand.
- Management guided Q3 to $33.5B versus ~$23B analyst expectations, signaling an unprecedented demand surge for memory chips.
Five Year SCAs With Hyperscalers
- Micron signed multi-year Strategic Customer Agreements (SCAs) with large, profitable hyperscalers to lock long-term demand.
- Company contrasted these SCAs with past pandemic-era LTAs to emphasize stronger, more stable customers and longer growth runway.

- Competition from Samsung, SK Hynix and others keeps cycles and pricing dynamics intact.
