Key Takeaways Micron is scheduled to announce its fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 results on September 30, with shares experiencing significant price fluctuations in recent trading sessions. Analy
Micron Technology is currently changing hands near $1,075 per share as the company prepares to unveil its fiscal fourth-quarter financial performance on September 30. Shares have surged approximately 282% year to date and more than 555% over the trailing twelve months, based on data from Yahoo Finance.
This impressive rally has positioned MU as the fourth-strongest gainer within the S&P 500 index this year, behind only SanDisk, Moderna, and Dell. However, this remarkable ascent also creates considerable downside risk should the upcoming earnings disappoint investors.
Recent trading activity has demonstrated notable volatility. The stock advanced 2.8% on Monday and climbed 5% on Tuesday, only to retreat 2.2% on Wednesday before recovering with a 0.81% gain on Thursday. Market headwinds including elevated Treasury yields, climbing oil prices, and questions surrounding AI sector momentum have contributed to uncertain investor sentiment.
The consensus among Wall Street analysts calls for Micron to deliver earnings per share of $31.49 for the quarter, representing a substantial improvement from the $3.03 reported in the same period last year. Revenue forecasts center around $50.91 billion, marking an approximate 350% increase.
Management previously issued guidance for Q4 revenue of $50 billion, with a range of plus or minus $1 billion, accompanied by a non-GAAP gross margin projection near 86%.
Wells Fargo’s Aaron Rakers recently adjusted his Micron price objective downward to $1,400 from $1,525, yet simultaneously boosted his fiscal 2027 earnings estimate by approximately 5% and his 2028 projection by more than 10%.
The firm now forecasts fiscal 2027 revenue of $261.3 billion with earnings per share of $166, alongside fiscal 2028 revenue of $287.8 billion with EPS of $178. These projections exceed Street consensus estimates by roughly 5%.
Rakers additionally predicts Micron’s free cash flow generation will surpass $125 billion on an annual basis, with comprehensive shareholder return programs commencing in December 2026.
Meanwhile, other research firms maintain decidedly optimistic positions. Rosenblatt analyst Kevin Cassidy sustained a Buy recommendation with a $1,500 target, anticipating another quarter where results exceed expectations and guidance is raised. Wolfe Research’s Chris Caso similarly reaffirmed his Buy rating at $1,500, highlighting increasing HBM pricing power and capacity buildouts.
JPMorgan dramatically elevated its price target to $1,540 from $550. Bank of America maintained its Buy stance at $1,550. Stifel preserved a $1,500 objective, while TD Cowen stands at $1,600, characterizing Micron as “mid-cycle in demand growth.”
Susquehanna holds the most aggressive Street target at $2,000, emphasizing structural memory supply constraints driven by artificial intelligence applications. Citi increased its target to $1,300 from $1,150, forecasting memory undersupply conditions persisting through 2031.
Micron’s third-quarter fiscal 2026 financial results revealed DRAM revenue reaching $31.3 billion, representing 343% year-over-year growth, while NAND revenue totaled $9.9 billion, advancing 361%. Data center segment revenue exceeded $25 billion during the quarter.
HBM4 product shipments generated more than $1 billion in revenue during the previous quarter. These advanced memory modules power Nvidia’s highest-performance AI accelerators and are reportedly fully committed through 2027 with orders extending into 2028.
Collectively, Wall Street maintains a Strong Buy consensus rating on MU, supported by 28 Buy recommendations and one Hold rating. The average analyst price target of $1,557.12 suggests approximately 44% appreciation potential from present trading levels.
Micron shares reached an all-time closing record near $1,213 in June 2026 before touching an intraday high of $1,255 on June 25, subsequently experiencing a pullback. Market participants now focus on September 30, when the semiconductor manufacturer will release its quarterly results following the market close.
