Micron Q4 Outlook: Strong Backlog Could Lift MU to New Highs
Sep 29, 2026, 2:29 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
MU has a history of beating estimates and raising guidance; strong data points (Q4 revenue/EPS above year-ago levels, 12 straight revenue beats, 10 straight EPS beats) support upside. The stock is near all-time highs and could re-test $1,255 if the company guides into or above mid-$30s earnings power, aided by backlog strength and favorable pricing. However, high expectations raise downside risk if results disappoint.
