Micron faced a lot of backlash late in 2025 when it announced that after 30 years of servicing consumers with its brand of "Crucial" storage products and RAM for gamers, it would be shutting up shop to focus on other forms of revenue. Now, Micron has published its business figures for the beginning of 2026, just a month after Crucial was officially axed, and revenues are soaring.
Surprisingly, it isn't supplying AI companies and their data centers that are showing the biggest area of growth for Micron; it's "Mobile and Client" streams. To be clear, manufacturing DRAM for cloud and data centers is still the main source of revenue for Crucial, forming $18.8 billion of the company's total $23.86 billion total revenue.
