What is the source of your difference from the anlaysts? Give bottoms up explanation

  • Our 3Q26E operating profit is ~$2B below consensus, mainly on NAND blended ASP and DRAM bits assumptions.
  • Operating profit has moved from ~$2B below consensus in 3Q26E to ~$3B above in 4Q26E and ~$11B above in 2027E.
  • 2028E operating profit is ~$0.7B above consensus despite revenue ~$22B lower, as our margin is ~70% versus ~67%.

NAND blended ASP (~$1B) and DRAM bits (~$0.9B) explain most of our ~$2B 3Q26E operating-profit shortfall versus consensus.

Ignore long term projection. Just give me bottoms up with assumption sources for the upcoming quarterly release

  • 3Q26E assumes DRAM ASP growth of ~11% QoQ, DRAM bits ~14%, NAND ASP ~21% and NAND bits ~9%.
  • These assumptions drive revenue to ~68B and operating profit to ~53B, with DRAM price/bit adding ~7B.
  • Own revenue and operating profit sit ~2B below consensus, and a ~5% DRAM ASP move shifts profit by ~3B.

DRAM ASP growth has slowed to ~11% QoQ from ~56%, while DRAM bit growth has risen to ~14% from ~8%.

  • Consensus 3Q26E revenue and operating profit are each ~$2B above own, at ~$70B vs ~$68B and ~$55B vs ~$53B.
  • NAND ASP is the largest bridge item at ~$1B, followed by DRAM ASP at ~$1B and DRAM bits at ~$0.4B.

so explain in plain text - why didnt you change projection earlier, but are changing now? is trendforce wrong?

  • TrendForce's 3Q26 DRAM survey of ~11% lagged Micron's realized ~19%, so it was late on magnitude, not wrong on direction.
  • We re-scored on Micron's hard print: DRAM ASP added ~$4B, DRAM bits subtracted ~$4B, and NAND ASP added ~$1B.
  • Re-scoring lifted 3Q26E operating profit to ~$54B from ~$53B and left revenue ~$1B below consensus at ~$69B.

TrendForce's 3Q26 DRAM ASP survey midpoint of ~11% undershot Micron's realized ~19%, so the survey lagged rather than misread direction.

This is what i get from google ai - • Revenue / Sales: Analysts expect roughly KRW 98.5 trillion (some bullish estimates project over KRW 100 trillion, reflecting strong AI-driven demand for HBM and server DRAM). • Earnings Per Share (EPS): The consensus average estimate sits around KRW 86,312 per share for the September 2026 quarter (ranging from about KRW 76,215 to KRW 94,256). • Operating Margin: Expected to hover near 78%, building on the 76% operating margin achieved in Q2 2026.

  • FnGuide revenue consensus is ~98T versus own re-score ~93T; FX explains ~3T of the ~5T difference.
  • Consensus operating profit is ~77T versus own re-score ~74T, with NAND ASP adding ~1T and DRAM ASP ~2T.

So FnGuide is not accounting for FX properly according to you? Or is the issue in our data conversaion from USD To KRW?

  • At ~1,355 revenue and operating profit are ~3% and ~4% below consensus; at ~1,404 the shortfalls are ~2% and ~0.8%.
  • USD revenue ~$69B and operating profit ~$54B are within ~1% and ~0.2% of consensus, so FnGuide is consistent.
  • FX accounts for ~3.4T of the ~5.1T revenue shortfall and ~2.7T of the ~3.3T operating-profit shortfall; price/mix is ~1T.
  • The 3Q26 average is ~1,404; spot ~1,326 would cut revenue by ~7.1T to ~89.4T, and consensus EPS averages ~KRW 86,000.

Revenue and operating-profit shortfalls are ~1% and ~0.2% in USD and ~2% and ~0.8% at ~1,404.

So did we do forex accounting correctly or Google-AI? Just give plain text answer - no data needed

  • We did: at the 3Q26 average of ~1,404 the gap nearly closes; at 1,355 our own conversion was the error.
  • Google-AI's ~98.5T implies ~1,410/USD — roughly right on FX, but mixes EPS and margin bases.
