Micron (MU) Set to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Micron Technology (MU - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 30.
The company projects fiscal third-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.46 (+/- 10 cents) per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its quarterly earnings stands at $2.45 per share and has remained unchanged over the past 60 days. The consensus mark indicates a 30.3% surge from the year-ago quarter.
Meanwhile, Micron estimates revenues of $8.7 billion (+/- $200 million). The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $8.69 billion, suggesting a 17.1% increase from the year-earlier period.
The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 6.6%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before this announcement.
The remote-working and online-learning trend amid the COVID-19 crisis has stoked the demand for cloud storage. Furthermore, lockdowns and social distancing measures have fueled the usage of online and e-commerce services globally, compelling data center operators to enhance their capacities to accommodate the demand spike for cloud services. All these factors are likely to have aided MU’s top line during the quarter under review.
A solid uptick in dynamic random access memory bit shipments for the cloud, graphics, 5G and automotive markets is anticipated to have acted as an upside during the to-be-reported quarter.
However, Micron’s exposure to personal computers (“PC”) and notebooks might have hurt its overall sales growth in the quarter under review. PC and notebook manufacturers are adjusting their memory and storage purchases due to the shortage of other components to complete PC assembling.
Moreover, industry-wide component supply constraints are expected to have hurt Micron’s top and bottom lines in the third quarter. MU is witnessing supply constraints for certain integrated circuit components, which are expected to have negatively impacted bit shipments in the quarter under review.
The memory chip maker’s heavy dependence on China is a headwind due to the ongoing tit-for-tat trade spat between the United States and China. Additionally, a higher mix of lower-margin NAND, coupled with low memory prices and a minimal decline in manufacturing costs, is expected to have strained margins.
Moreover, operating expenses are expected to have flared up during the fiscal third quarter due to the resumption of previously delayed fiscal 2021 salary hikes. This might have hurt Micron’s margins and profitability during the quarter under review.
