Memory Semiconductor DRAM Revenue is revenue from dynamic random-access memory products.

Micron reported $31.328 billion of DRAM revenue in fiscal Q3 2026, up from $7.071 billion a year earlier.

Why it matters

DRAM economics depend on both bit shipments and average selling prices. In periods of tight industry supply, pricing can dominate revenue growth even when shipment growth is modest.

Investor caution

DRAM revenue is not a pure volume measure. Product mix, HBM penetration, contract pricing, and conventional DRAM pricing can all materially change revenue per bit.

Part of the Memory Semiconductor Economics

Connect DRAM and NAND price-volume drivers, AI and data-center segment economics, consolidated margins, capacity investment, and customer volume commitments for memory semiconductor manufacturers.

How the model fits together
  • DRAM price, bit shipments, and revenue: DRAM revenue combines average selling price, bit shipment volume, and product mix. In Micron's fiscal Q3 2026, sequential DRAM revenue growth was driven primarily by low-60% ASP growth while bit shipments increased only in the low-single-digit range.
  • NAND price, bit shipments, and revenue: NAND revenue likewise combines pricing, bit shipments, and product mix. Micron's fiscal Q3 2026 sequential NAND revenue growth was driven primarily by mid-80% ASP growth while bit shipments increased in the mid-single-digit range.
  • Data-center mix, margins, and supply investment: Cloud-memory and core-data-center revenue and gross margins show the economics of AI and server demand, while consolidated gross margin reflects the broader portfolio. Net capital expenditures and take-or-pay volume commitments connect current profitability to future supply investment and contracted demand without making committed volumes equivalent to recognized revenue.
