What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Micron Technology's board lifted its stock buyback authorization to $35.16 billion on October 8. This new cap is over four times the amount the company spent on buybacks between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2026, which totaled $7.84 billion. The authorization is largely funded by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026's adjusted free cash flow, which reached $33.2 billion.
