#股票交易分享挑战 Morgan Stanley's latest report on Micron: $100 billion in minimum-price revenue, with contracts beginning to be quantified like backlog
Micron's long-term agreement disclosures most closely resemble a mature order-management system. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the company had completed 16 strategic customer agreements (SCAs). These contracts cover approximately 20% of DRAM shipments and one-third of NAND shipments, with terms spanning 2026–2030.
Except for three automotive agreements, most contracts are take-or-pay, non-cancellable arrangements. In terms of pricing, the contracts set a price ceiling for the current quarter and a price floor for the entire contract period. Fourteen of the 16 agreements collectively correspond to approximately $100 billion in minimum-price revenue.
Micron expects to receive $22 billion in deposits and commitments, of which approximately $18 billion is cash. The company has also begun disclosing remaining performance obligations (RPO). Including agreements added after the quarter, RPO is approximately $100 billion, and at least half of future revenue is expected to come from SCAs. Automotive customers include Qualcomm, Visteon, HARMAN, JOYNEXT, DENSO, Astemo, Hyundai Mobis, Ford, and General Motors.
To put it more simply: Micron is no longer merely telling the market that “customer demand is strong”; instead, it is directly quantifying minimum revenue, cash guarantees, and future orders, making a memory company's earnings visibility begin to resemble that of equipment and software companies.$MU
