No, the conflict between carrier fleets from June 4 to June 7, 1942 was a decisive victory by the US fleet over the Japanese fleet. Coming 7 months after the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, the battle saw the sinking of 4 of the 6 Japanese carriers from the earlier battle, and is considered one of the pivotal battles of the Pacific Theater of World War II.
The victory was made possible by the decoding efforts of the US Navy, which intercepted key messages sent by the Japanese Navy. This included transmitting a faked message from Midway in a cypher that the US knew the Japanese had broken. The message said that the desalination plant on Midway was having problems, and a Japanese message was read that mentioned the codename of the place they planned to attack, and that its desalination plant was having problems -- this made it certain that the target was Midway. This gave the US enough time to fortify the island and send most of their aircraft carriers there.
