Micron's NAND Sales Hit $8.5B in FY25: Can the Momentum Continue?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
MU's NAND revenues rose to $8.5B in FY25, with Q4 sales of $2.3B, up 5% sequentially on stronger pricing.
New G9 NAND and PCIe Gen6 SSDs expand MU's portfolio for AI workloads and enterprise storage.
FY26 NAND revenues are projected at $10.42B, up 22.5%, with total revenue growth expected at 43.4%.
Micron Technology ((MU - Free Report) ) reported record NAND revenues of $8.5 billion in fiscal 2025, up 18% year over year. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, NAND sales were $2.3 billion, comprising about 20% of the company’s total revenues. Moreover, NAND revenues in the fourth quarter grew 5% compared to the prior quarter. The growth came from better pricing, which was up in the high single digits, even though bit shipments fell in the mid-single digits.
Micron is counting on its new G9 NAND to improve results. The company has ramped production of both TLC and QLC NAND, where its G9 QLC NAND is now qualified for enterprise storage. The company also strengthened its NAND portfolio with the addition of PCIe Gen6 SSDs, which are aimed at supporting high-performance data center workloads, such as AI inference and large-scale storage.
The company stated that demand in the data center storage market is being boosted by AI use cases like vector database indexing and key-value cache tiering. In addition, a shortage of hard disk drives (HDDs) is expected to help NAND demand. Micron also achieved record client SSD revenues in fiscal 2025, showing progress in its consumer storage business.
Moreover, with improving industry conditions for NAND, Micron expects a healthier supply-demand balance in 2026 to drive further growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2026 NAND revenues is pegged at $10.42 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 22.5%. MU’s total revenues for fiscal 2026 are estimated to grow 43.4% to $53.61 billion.
