Q1 2026 Roundup
Memory, storage and chip companies in the January to March 2026 quarter, side by side, from their own releases.
Q1 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier
Quarters are calendar quarters. A company’s own fiscal quarter sits in the calendar quarter it ends in, counting a quarter that runs a few days over (a 52- or 53-week year) as ending in it, and its own label is under each figure. Won, yen, New Taiwan dollar and yuan figures are converted to US dollars at the Federal Reserve H.10 average for the quarter; the filed figure is under each. Samsung is its chip division (Device Solutions).

The flash makers now earn margins close to those of the memory makers, going by each company’s own release for the quarter that ends around March 2026. The quarter before is in the Q4 2025 roundup, and the one after is Q2 2026. The Earnings Desk holds every quarter and the company notes behind it.

The flash makers now earned memory-maker margins: Sandisk 69.1% and Kioxia 60% (non-GAAP), next to Micron’s 67.6% for its quarter ended February 26 and SK hynix’s 72%.

Company-reported results, explained. Each company reports on its own fiscal calendar and in its own currency; the Period column says which quarter each row is. Not investment advice.
01
Company against company
Every company’s quarter on the same bars, then the year that led up to it.
Revenue is in US dollars so every company shares one axis: won, yen, New Taiwan dollar and yuan figures are converted at the Federal Reserve’s average rate for the quarter. Operating margin needs no conversion. Each bar is the company’s own quarter that falls in these months, named on the right.
EoF indicators
Each tile follows one company over its own reporting periods. Spending is reported on different bases from company to company, so read each tile across time, not against its neighbors.

Under each period are the months it mostly covers. A star marks a quarter that mostly falls in the calendar quarter before, because the company’s fiscal quarter ends only a month or so into this one. Year-on-year growth compares a company’s quarter with its same quarter a year earlier, in the currency it files in. The last four quarters add each quarter’s revenue in US dollars, shown where all four are filed.
Won, yen, New Taiwan dollar and yuan figures are converted to US dollars at the Federal Reserve H.10 average for the calendar quarter; the filed figure is under each.
