Micron Is 1.6 Points From Taking the No. 2 Spot in DRAM
A 6.4-point gap shrank to 1.6 in a single quarter. Where the challenger's gain is coming from matters as much as the ranking.
Overview
Global DRAM revenue reached nearly $155 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up about 60% from the first quarter, according to a report this week from market researcher TrendForce.
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) grew faster than the market itself -- and faster than both companies ahead of it. The memory maker's DRAM revenue rose about 66% quarter over quarter to $36 billion, lifting its share of the market to 23.3%.
Details
That leaves Micron just 1.6 percentage points behind SK Hynix (NASDAQ:SKHY), which held a 24.9% share on about $38.6 billion of DRAM revenue. Samsung Electronics (OTC:SSNLF) led at 39.4%. One quarter earlier, Micron's deficit to SK Hynix was 6.4 points.
