Micron Stock Is Moving Lower Thursday: What's Going On?

Author: Adam Eckert | June 27, 2024 09:19am

Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) shares are trading lower Thursday after the company reported third-quarter earnings results and issued lackluster top-line guidance. Here’s what you need to know.

  • Q3 Revenue: $6.81 billion, beat estimates of $6.634 billion
  • Q3 EPS: 62 cents, beat estimates of 49 cents

Operating cash flow came in at $2.48 billion versus $1.22 billion in the prior quarter and $24 million in the comparable quarter last year. Adjusted free cash flow was $425 million in the quarter. The company ended the quarter with $9.22 billion in cash, marketable securities and restricted cash.

“Robust AI demand and strong execution enabled Micron to drive 17% sequential revenue growth, exceeding our guidance range in fiscal Q3,” said Sanjay Mehrotra, president and CEO of Micron.

“We are gaining share in high-margin products like High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), and our data center SSD revenue hit a record high, demonstrating the strength of our AI product portfolio across DRAM and NAND. We are excited about the expanding AI-driven opportunities ahead, and are well positioned to deliver a substantial revenue record in fiscal 2025.”

Looking Ahead: Micron anticipates fourth-quarter revenue of $7.6 billion, plus or minus $200 million, versus estimates of $7.6 billion. The company expects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings to be between $1 and $1.16 per share versus estimates of $1.05 per share.
