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.
