- Gross Profit Margin
- The gross profit margin demonstrated a steady upward trend from the beginning of the observed period until December 2022, peaking near 46.89%. However, a sharp decline occurred afterward, reaching negative territory in the middle of 2023, with the lowest point around -14.49%. Subsequently, the margin began a recovery phase, trending positively and exceeding 45% toward the end of the latest period.
- Operating Profit Margin
- This metric followed a similar pattern to the gross profit margin. It steadily increased to reach a peak of approximately 34.38% in mid-2022, then experienced a dramatic decrease into negative percentages through 2023, hitting a trough near -41.18%. Following this downturn, the operating profit margin gradually improved, moving back into positive figures and reaching over 32% by late 2025.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin closely mirrored the trends of both gross and operating profit margins. After a consistent rise to just above 30% in mid-2022, it dipped sharply into negative values throughout 2023, bottoming out around -42.47%. After this decline, the net margin recovered steadily, advancing into positive territory and surpassing 28% by the end of the period observed.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- ROE showed a positive trajectory initially, increasing from approximately 7.5% to over 20% by mid-2022. The ratio then reversed dramatically, decreasing below zero in early to mid-2023, with the lowest value near -16%. Following this decline, ROE exhibited a gradual rebound, moving back into positive range and reaching above 20% toward the end of the analyzed timeframe.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- Similar to ROE, ROA experienced growth up to around 15% by mid-2022, followed by a decline into negative figures in 2023, with a low near -10.78%. The recovery phase was apparent thereafter, with ROA climbing back to positive levels and ultimately reaching nearly 14% by the last quarter considered.
- Summary
- The financial data reveal a pronounced cyclical pattern characterized by robust growth in profitability and returns up to late 2022, an abrupt contraction into negative outcomes during 2023, and a gradual recovery in the subsequent periods. The margins and return ratios peaked mid-2022, suffered sharp declines amid challenging periods in 2023, and then demonstrated resilience and improvement into 2024 and beyond. This pattern may suggest exposure to external market or operational factors significantly impacting financial performance during the downturn, followed by recovery efforts restoring profitability and efficiency.

The financial data reveals significant fluctuations in key performance indicators over the observed periods. Revenue demonstrates an overall upward trend with intermittent declines, while gross margin and gross profit margin percentages exhibit considerable volatility, reflecting varying profitability dynamics.
- Revenue Trends
- Revenue increased steadily from approximately 5.8 billion US dollars in early December 2020 to a peak exceeding 13.6 billion US dollars by late November 2025. Despite the general growth trajectory, there are notable periods of decline, particularly from the peak in September 2021 through March 2023, where revenue dropped from about 8.3 billion to approximately 3.7 billion US dollars. Post this trough, revenue resumes growth, surpassing previous highs by the end of the time frame.
- Gross Margin Fluctuations
- Gross margin, measured in millions of US dollars, shows substantial variation. Initial figures remain robust between December 2020 and June 2022, reaching a high near 4 billion US dollars. However, a sharp decline follows, turning negative starting December 2022, with the lowest point around -1.2 billion US dollars in March 2023. Subsequently, the margin recovers steadily, reaching a peak of approximately 7.6 billion US dollars by November 2025, exceeding earlier highs significantly.
- Gross Profit Margin Percentage Dynamics
- The gross profit margin percentage mirrors the trends in gross margin, starting at around 31% and improving to nearly 47% by mid-2022. A steep contraction follows, dipping into negative territory (as low as -14.5%) in late 2022 and early 2023, indicative of substantial cost pressures or reduced pricing power during that interval. The margin percentage then undergoes a gradual recovery, returning to a favorable range above 45% by the conclusion of the observed periods.
- Interpretation and Insights
- The data suggests that the company experienced a period of strong revenue growth and profitability until mid-2022. The subsequent downturn, reflected in declining revenues and negative gross margins, indicates challenges such as increased costs, market pressures, or operational disruptions. The recovery phase commencing around mid-2023 reflects improved conditions, possibly due to strategic adjustments, cost management, or market recovery, enabling the company to surpass its previous financial performance levels by late 2025.

However, after this peak, a notable decline occurred, bottoming out at 3,693 million USD by March 2023. Subsequently, the revenue began a steady recovery and growth phase, reaching 13,643 million USD by November 2025, surpassing previous highs.
- Operating Income (Loss) Trend
- Operating income followed a somewhat volatile path. It initially increased from 866 million USD in December 2020 to a high of 3,004 million USD in June 2022. After this peak, operating income sharply declined into negative territory, reaching its lowest point at -2,303 million USD by March 2023. Following the trough, operating income showed a robust recovery, becoming positive again by August 2024 and steadily improving to 6,136 million USD by November 2025.
- Operating Profit Margin Trend
- The operating profit margin increased significantly from 15.19% in December 2020 to a maximum of 34.38% in June 2022. This was followed by a steep deterioration, turning negative and reaching a low of -41.18% by August 2023. Gradually, margins improved after this low point, regaining positive figures by August 2024 and climbing to over 32% by November 2025, reflecting improved operational efficiency or pricing power in later periods.
- Overall Analysis
- The data indicates a strong growth phase for revenue and profitability until mid-2022, followed by a pronounced contraction in both revenue and operating performance through early 2023. This suggests the company faced significant headwinds or adverse market conditions during that period. From mid-2023 onward, there was a notable recovery phase characterized by increasing revenue and returning profitability, culminating in record levels of operating income and margin by late 2025. The volatility in profit margins, including the deep negative trough, highlights sensitivity to cost structure or pricing pressures during downturns, while the rebound indicates management effectiveness in restoring profitability.

- Revenue Trend
- The revenue exhibits a cyclical and somewhat volatile pattern over the specified periods. It rose steadily from 5,773 million USD in December 2020 to a peak of 8,642 million USD by June 2022, followed by a sharp decline to 4,085 million USD by December 2022. After this decline, revenue gradually recovered, reaching the highest value in the dataset at 13,643 million USD by November 2025. This suggests periods of contraction were followed by strong growth phases.
- Net Income Attributable to Micron
- Net income values reflect significant fluctuations, closely mirroring the revenue trend but with greater volatility. Initial increases culminated in a peak of 2,720 million USD in September 2021. This was followed by a marked decline, resulting in losses in late 2022 and early 2023, with the lowest loss recorded at -2,312 million USD in March 2023. Subsequently, net income recovered steadily, achieving a substantial positive turnaround with 5,240 million USD recorded by November 2025, indicating successful profitability restoration efforts.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin corroborates the observed profit and revenue trends. It increased from approximately 13.6% in December 2020, reaching a peak margin of over 30% in June 2022. This was followed by a drastic drop into negative territory in the last quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, with margins falling as low as -42.47%. Thereafter, the margin progressively improved, returning to positive figures by mid-2023 and continuing to rise, reaching a strong margin of 28.15% by November 2025. The recovery trend indicates improving operational efficiency or favorable market conditions post the downturn period.
- Overall Analysis
- The data suggests a period of robust growth up to mid-2022, followed by a significant downturn characterized by declining revenue, net income losses, and negative profit margins. The downturn phase appears relatively short-lived, with a consistent recovery evident from early 2023 onwards. By the end of the observed period, both revenue and profitability measures exceed previous peaks, indicating resilience and a strong rebound. This pattern could reflect external economic cycles, market disruptions, or company-specific challenges and responses.

The financial data indicates notable fluctuations in net income, shareholders’ equity, and return on equity (ROE) over the examined periods. The analysis highlights trends in profitability, equity growth, and efficiency of capital use.
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Micron
- The net income exhibits a cyclical pattern with periods of growth followed by significant declines. From December 2020 through September 2022, net income generally increased, peaking at 2,626 million US dollars in June 2022. However, starting December 2022, a sharp reversal occurs, with net income turning negative and reaching losses up to -2,312 million US dollars in March 2023. A recovery phase starts in February 2024, with net income progressively improving and reaching a substantial high of 5,240 million US dollars by November 2025. This pattern suggests sensitivity to market or operational conditions, with strong rebounds after downturns.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity shows a steady upward trajectory throughout the entire period, increasing from 39,907 million US dollars in December 2020 to 58,806 million US dollars by November 2025. Despite temporary drops, particularly after September 2022 when equity declined from a peak of 49,907 million to 42,885 million by February 2024, the overall trend is one of sustained growth. This growth indicates ongoing capital accumulation and possibly retained earnings or equity issuances that support the company’s financial base.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- ROE mirrors the volatility seen in net income but with more pronounced swings. Starting at 7.51% in December 2020, ROE improves steadily, reaching a peak of 20.12% by June 2022, reflecting high profitability against equity at that time. Corresponding with the negative net income phase during late 2022 and early 2023, ROE sharply declines into negative territory, bottoming at -16.02% in November 2023. From this low point, ROE gradually recovers, reaching 20.25% by November 2025. The fluctuations indicate that profitability as a percentage of equity was severely impacted during downturns but regained strength later, suggesting improvement in operational efficiency or market conditions.
In summary, the company experiences significant profit volatility with marked losses during late 2022 to early 2024, followed by a strong recovery phase. Despite these profitability challenges, shareholders’ equity steadily increased, implying resilience and stability in the company’s capital structure. The ROE trends reinforce the net income observations, illustrating the impacts of profit fluctuations on shareholder returns. The data shows the company’s capacity to recover financial health after periods of loss, demonstrating underlying strength in equity growth and eventual return enhancements.

- Net Income (Loss) Trend
- The net income attributable to the company exhibits significant volatility over the observed period. Initially, it shows a generally rising trend from US$803 million to a peak of US$2,720 million by the third quarter of 2021. Thereafter, a downward trend is noted with net income turning negative starting in December 2022, reaching its lowest point at -US$2,312 million in March 2023. The company then recovers gradually, with net income becoming positive again in early 2024 and continuing to increase markedly through mid-2025, culminating at US$5,240 million by the last date reported.
- Total Assets Trend
- Total assets consistently increase over the entire timeframe, rising from approximately US$53,691 million in late 2020 to US$85,971 million by mid-2025. This steady growth indicates continued expansion of asset base without any periods of contraction or stagnation.
- Return on Assets (ROA) Analysis
- ROA shows a similar pattern to net income, reflecting profitability relative to assets. Starting at 5.59%, ROA improves steadily, reaching a high of 15.18% by mid-2022. This is followed by a sharp decline, dipping to negative values from late 2022 through mid-2023, with a low of -10.78% observed in August 2023. After this trough, ROA recovers progressively, turning positive in early 2024 and reaching 13.85% by mid-2025. This indicates a return to efficient asset utilization and profitability after a pronounced downturn.
- Overall Insights
- The data reflects a business cycle with peak performance up to late 2021/early 2022, followed by a challenging period characterized by negative profitability and declining returns on assets through 2022 and early 2023. Despite this, the company's asset base continued to expand steadily. Recovery is evident starting in 2024, with improvements in both net income and ROA suggesting restored operational efficiency and financial health. The increasing net income levels and ROA towards the end of the period signal strong growth potential going forward.
