Micron plans to boost stock buybacks after Dec 9, 2026, when CHIPS Act restrictions expire.

Micron Technology's CEO Sanjay Mehrotra confirmed the company will increase stock buybacks starting December 9, 2026, the second anniversary of its CHIPS Act funding agreement, which currently restricts large-scale buybacks. While competitors like SK Hynix and Kioxia are already conducting major buybacks, Micron must wait due to government rules tied to its $6.1 billion CHIPS funding. The company reported strong financials with record free cash flow and expects to return excess cash to shareholders over time. Investors are watching December 9 closely for specifics on buyback size and timing, though no firm commitments have been made yet.
