Micron secures $100B in memory supply deals amid ongoing shortage

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Micron has secured approximately $100 billion in long-term supply agreements (LTAs) with 14 major customers for 3D NAND and DRAM, with an additional $22 billion in cash deposits and financial commitments. These five-year contracts, excluding shorter automotive terms, are set to run from 2026 to 2030. Despite these agreements, Micron's CEO indicated that the global memory shortage is expected to persist, with gradual improvements not anticipated until 2028, and no clear end in sight for supply to meet demand.
