↑ 7%Elon Musk said China can often scale a product it has mastered beyond the rest of the world combined, but advanced memory "will be harder to solve." He cited lithium batteries and solar, and called SpaceX a rare exception. His comments on X came as memory stocks slid. The selloff erased a combined $108 billion from the market values of Micron, SK Hynix, and SanDisk after ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) reported chip-design advances. Musk said low-power memory for phones and laptops follows a common standard that China "seems to be solving fast." High-bandwidth memory and stacked designs are tougher. TrendForce data put CXMT's share of global DRAM revenue at 9.5% in the second quarter, up from 7.6% in the first. Micron fell 3.88% to $989.04 on Monday and lost another 1.40% after hours.
Micron Technology posted fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $54.2 billion, up from $11.3 billion a year earlier. Earnings per share rose to $32.9 from $2.8. The chipmaker expects first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of about $61.5 billion and earnings of about $37.80 per share. Management also said memory and storage supply-demand conditions should be "much tighter" in fiscal 2027 and 2028 than in 2026. Micron links the outlook to demand for AI memory, and plans to invest more than $250 billion in US manufacturing through 2035. Its non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) gross margin hit 87%, and it expects about 86.3% next quarter. Memory has long been cyclical, so the forecast is not guaranteed. Gross margin is the figure to watch.
Micron Technology stock returned 424.1% in the twelve months to October 9, 2026, driven by a shortage of memory chips. Servers running artificial intelligence workloads are a major source of demand. Early signs were visible. On December 18, 2024, executives called Micron a pioneering supplier of LP memory to the data centre, almost ten months before the rally began on October 8, 2025. Fiscal 2025 revenue rose nearly 50% to a record $37.4 billion, and gross margin grew 17 percentage points to 41%. Revenue in the latest quarter reached $54.2 billion, up 379.3% from a year earlier. Executives expect the memory market to stay tight through 2028. Peers also surged: Western Digital returned 228.5% and Intel 179.7%, against 17.0% for the S&P 500.
Memory stocks fell after China's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) said it made significant progress on a denser chip cell design. CXMT, which is not listed in the US, aims to launch a server memory product built on it by the end of this year, its president Cao Kanyu said at an industry event in Shanghai. Micron fell 4% to $984.28, though it is still up 245% year to date. SK Hynix also dropped 4% to $162.13, and Western Digital fell 2% to $389.04. The Roundhill Memory ETF slid 4% to $54.75, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust held flat. Server memory is the industry's most profitable segment. Micron's adjusted gross margin hit 87% last quarter, up from 45.7% a year earlier.
Micron Technology's shares have risen more than 260% this year, driven by tight DRAM supply and soaring demand for memory chips used in artificial intelligence (AI). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, DRAM revenue reached $39.8 billion, about 73% of total sales, and non-GAAP gross margin rose to 87.0%. The company has signed 26 take-or-pay Strategic Customer Agreements, which management expects to account for more than 35% of revenue through 2030. Customer financial commitments tied to them total $32 billion. For the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Micron expects revenue of $61.5 billion, plus or minus $1.5 billion, and earnings of $38.15 per share, plus or minus $1. The stock closed at $1,029, a 22% discount to its June 25 high. It trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 5.87, against an industry average of 20.05.
