Micron Technology stock was trading at EUR 856.40 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 12:16 p.m. CEST, down 3.44 percent versus the Xetra close of October 12, 2026 at EUR 886.90.

Buyback authorization reaches USD 35.16 billion
The authorization adds a substantial capital-return option after Micron generated USD 43.97 billion of operating cash flow in fiscal 2026. The company can use the program to reduce its share count, although the authorization itself does not require Micron to repurchase a specific number of shares.
Three dated milestones shape the setup

- On October 13, 2026, Seeking Alpha reported the USD 35.16 billion authorization and its December 9, 2026 start date.
What does the dividend mean?
