Dynamic random-access memory, or DRAM, accounted for 71% of Micron's revenue in its fiscal second quarter. Nand flash memory accounted for 26% of its revenue during the period.DRAM chips act as the main memory in PCs, smartphones and other devices, working closely with central processing units. Nand flash provides longer-term data storage.In DRAM chips, MU stock competes with South Korea's Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.In Nand flash chips, Micron competes with Samsung, SK Hynix, Kioxia,Western Digital(WDC) and Intel(INTC). On Oct. 19,Intel announced a deal to sell its Nand memory chip businessto SK Hynix for $9 billion.MU Stock Fundamental AnalysisOn March 31, Micron beat Wall Street's targets for itsfiscal second quarterand guided higher for the current period.
