The driving force behind the surge was unmistakable: explosive demand for AI-related memory products, particularly data center DRAM and high bandwidth memory chips, which powered a recovery in gross margins to 35.3% on a GAAP basis from negative 10.8% a year ago. The company also swung to GAAP net income of $887 million, compared to a net loss of $1.43 billion in Q4 fiscal 2023, underscoring how dramatically the memory cycle has shifted. Shares jumped more than 13% following the results, reflecting investor enthusiasm over Micron's fiscal Q1 2025 guidance for revenue of $8.70 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $1.74, with management projecting continued record revenue momentum into the full fiscal year.
