CEO points to prolonged memory shortages and raises guidance. "Our customers are recognizing that supply shortages in memory and storage will take considerable time to improve, even as we expect industry supply to improve gradually in 2028," Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra told analysts. The firm now anticipates current-quarter revenue of about $50 billion, compared with $11.3 billion a year earlier and above the $43.58 billion consensus. Shareholders will receive a 15 cent dividend in July.
The company ranks among the leading beneficiaries of the AI surge that has generated record need for its memory components inside Nvidia and Google processors as well as the servers containing them.

The performance comes after Micron's shares gained roughly 700% in the past year, pushing its market value above $1 trillion.

    AI stock wipeout drags S&P 500 down 4.4%

    AP says another wipeout for AI data-center stocks more than erased Wednesday's gains, which were Wall Street's best in three months. The S&P 500 closed down 4.4%, the Dow 1,833 points (3.4%), and the Nasdaq 5.5%. Nvidia fell about 9.2%, AMD about 17%, and CoreWeave about 9.8%. Democratic midterm wins raised the possibility of data-center construction pauses — a fear, not an enacted moratorium. AP called it the S&P's worst drop since the April 2025 Liberation Day tariffs.
