Micron Technology stock rebounds after a fresh Taiwan expansion update. The company says local operations remain normal as union talks continue.

Expansion Plans Meet Labor Uncertainty

Micron says Taiwan operations remain normal while talks with the Taoyuan union continue.
The planned facility was linked to an investment of 3 billion to 4.5 billion US dollars and production of HBM and DRAM chips.
The next investor focus is the outcome of negotiations and the timing of the Taoyuan project.

Micron Technology said on November 6 that its Taiwan operations were continuing normally after reports that construction of a planned memory facility in Taoyuan had been suspended amid a labor dispute. Focus Taiwan reported that the company did not directly address the alleged suspension but said it expected to maintain stable operations and customer service.

Micron Technology stock traded at 654.95 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:46 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026. That was 7.01 percent above the 612.05-euro quote cited in the latest report at 13:24 CET on the same day. The comparison is a move since that report, not a Xetra daily comparison.

What Has Changed Since Our Last Report

The company said it would continue negotiations with the Taoyuan workers' union, with talks facilitated by the Taoyuan City government. The union is seeking a specific profit-sharing program, while Micron reached an agreement with its Taichung union in late October.

Focus Taiwan reported that Micron employs about 3,000 people in Taoyuan and 12,300 in Taichung. Union members account for approximately 2,400 and 11,000 employees in the two cities, respectively. The Taoyuan union has authorization to strike and staged a symbolic 24-hour walkout on October 22.

Expansion Risk Remains Ahead

Bloomberg's reported project pause concerns a planned investment of between 3 billion and 4.5 billion US dollars, including advanced equipment from ASML. The facility was intended to produce high-bandwidth memory and dynamic random-access memory chips, both important to AI infrastructure.

For investors, the immediate issue is not a reported interruption at an operating plant. It is the possible effect on future capacity, construction timing and the cost of Micron's expansion program. Taiwan accounts for about 60 percent of the company's traditional memory production, according to Focus Taiwan.
