Micron Technology shares rose in successive premarket sessions after its $2.75 billion assembly and testing plant in Sanand, Gujarat, entered commercial production and began shipping finished DRAM and NAND products worldwide. The company is also facing potential competitive pressure after Reuters reported that China’s CXMT is preparing a NAND flash research and development production facility in Beijing, although its commercial production timetable remains uncertain. Micron’s September 30 fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report is the next major scheduled catalyst, while analysts retain a broadly positive outlook and technical indicators remain neutral-to-positive.
