Micron Technology delivered outstanding Q2 2026 results with revenue increasing 196% year-over-year and a gross margin of 74.4%, fueled by strong demand for DRAM and NAND memory from AI and data center expansions. Despite these strong earnings, investors are worried about Micron's aggressive capital expenditure plans exceeding $25 billion in FY26 and rising further in FY27, which could lead to oversupply and pressure margins.
