## **Micron Heads Into Earnings With Strong AI Demand**

Micron enters its fiscal fourth-quarter report with strong AI-memory demand supporting growth.

Analysts expect the company to report $50.62 billion in quarterly revenue and adjusted earnings of $31.30 per share on Sept. 30, according to estimates.

CNBC’s **Jim Cramer** recently said he would hold Micron ahead of earnings, pointing to its valuation and calling the stock "incredibly cheap."

## **CXMT Emerges As Longer-Term Memory Threat**

China’s **CXMT** plans to develop NAND technology after capturing 9.5% of global DRAM revenue, potentially adding another competitor for Micron.

However, CXMT’s plans for large-scale NAND production remain uncertain.

The near-term supply environment also remains tight, with TrendForce expecting NAND shortages to ease only in the second half of 2027.
