ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Micron Technology is benefiting from rising AI server demand for DRAM, NAND, and high bandwidth memory, which has improved pricing and mix since 2024. Stock splits increase share count and reduce price per share without changing market capitalization, cash, or operating performance, but can improve liquidity and employee equity access. Nvidia completed a 10-for-1 split in June 2024 and joined the Dow in 2024, while Broadcom executed a 10-for-1 split in July 2024; Alphabet and Amazon completed 20-for-1 splits in 2022, and Apple and Tesla split 4-for-1 in 2020 and 3-for-1 in 2022, respectively. If Micron considers a split, its board would evaluate nominal price, trading volume, employee plan design, and timing alongside earnings or capital returns. Micron’s capital plans, including a Boise DRAM fab and a long-term project in Clay, New York, depend on cash flow, incentives, and debt markets rather than share price. Index effects matter primarily for the Dow’s price-weighted structure, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 are market-cap weighted and less sensitive to nominal prices.
