Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “MU.”

Holders of Record

As of October 2, 2026, there were approximately 1,260 shareholders of record of our common stock. A substantially greater number of holders of our common stock are “street name” or beneficial holders, whose shares are held by banks, brokers, and other financial institutions as the holder of record.

Dividends

On September 30, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share, payable in cash on October 29, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 14, 2026.

We currently expect quarterly dividends to continue in future periods and aim to grow our dividend payments over time. However, the declaration and payment of any future cash dividends are at the discretion and subject to the approval of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors’ decisions regarding the amount and payment of dividends will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions, debt service obligations, contractual restrictions, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in any future period.

Issuer Purchase of Equity Securities

Common Stock Repurchase Authorization

In 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the discretionary repurchase of up to $10 billion (the “2018 authorization”) of our outstanding common stock through open-market purchases, block trades, privately-negotiated transactions, derivative transactions, and/or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. On October 8, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the amount authorized under this stock repurchase program for a total authorization of $35.16 billion. Any repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be made from December 9, 2026 in accordance with our CHIPS Act direct funding agreements. Under our CHIPS Act direct funding agreements, stock repurchases are permitted during the first two years of the five-year period following the Idaho and New York award date of December 9, 2024, up to amounts specified in the funding agreements, to help offset the dilutive effects of employee stock compensation or as otherwise permitted by the U.S. Department of Commerce. During the final three years of such five-year period, stock repurchases are subject to financial and other conditions, including limitations based on free cash flow, net of CHIPS Act grant incentives received with respect to capital expenditures and net of dividends paid, each as defined in the direct funding agreements.

The total amount authorized under the stock repurchase program is based on the approximately $2.16 billion that remained available for repurchase under the 2018 authorization, plus 100% of our adjusted free cash flow, less proceeds of CHIPS Act grant incentives received with respect to capital expenditures and less dividends paid, for the quarter ended September 3, 2026.

Our stock repurchase program and the new authorization have no expiration date, do not obligate us to acquire any common stock, and are subject to market conditions, restrictions applicable under our CHIPS Act direct funding agreements, and our ongoing determination of the best use of available cash. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 15. Government Incentives. Any increases in the amount of the stock repurchase program require authorization of our Board of Directors.

A reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow to GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended September 3, 2026, and related adjustments that serve as the basis for the October 8, 2026 increase in the amount authorized under the stock repurchase program, is as follows:

Shares of common stock withheld as payment of withholding taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock are also treated as common stock repurchases. Shares withheld as payment of withholding taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units are not considered repurchases for purposes of this Item and are not required to be reported.

We did not repurchase any common stock under the 2018 authorization in the fourth quarter of 2026, and as of September 3, 2026, $2.16 billion of the 2018 authorization remained available for the repurchase of our common stock. In the fourth quarter of 2026, shares withheld as payment upon the vesting of restricted stock consisted of the following:
