The stock hit an all-time high of $1,213.56 earlier this week, though shares have recently dropped amid fears of an AI bubble.", "body_md": "Micron Technology Inc will release its third-quarter earnings after the markets close on Wednesday.\n\nDespite fears of an [AI](https://www.fastcompany.com/section/artificial-intelligence) bubble, Wall Street predicts positive results. Micron could report $35.5 billion in revenue—a 281% jump year-over-year (YOY), according to a Bloomberg [analyst consensus](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/article/micron-to-report-third-quarter-earnings-amid-sky-high-demand-from-data-centers-113000152.html) cited by Yahoo Finance.\n\nIts DRAM (memory) and NAND (storage) revenues are expected to grow 288% and 256% YOY, respectively.\n\nMicron is also predicted by Bloomberg’s analysts to have earnings per share of $20.39, about a 967% increase YOY. However, consensus estimates [cited by CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/22/micron-quadruples-year-to-date-wall-street-mostly-thinks-wednesdays-earnings-will-live-up-to-the-hype.html) expect EPS to range from $20.17 to $20.42.\n\nThe earnings report will come just two days after Micron’s shares (Nasdaq: MU) reached a new all-time high of $1,213.56.
