On September 3, Micron Technology declined 3.26% in regular trading, trading around $938.86/share with turnover of $4.556 billion, as the stock came under pressure from an escalating labor dispute at its critical Taiwan manufacturing base and broader semiconductor sector weakness.

Micron's Taiwan-based unions, representing nearly two-thirds of the company's 15,000 local employees, have threatened to strike unless the chipmaker agrees to overhaul its bonus structure. An internal survey showed over 80% of union members support strike action. The unions are demanding a shift from individual performance bonuses to a profit-sharing model aligned with peers such as Samsung and SK Hynix, which allocate roughly 10-10.5% of profits as employee bonuses. Micron's current bonus payout of approximately 2.6 months' salary stands in stark contrast to its record fiscal Q3 revenue of $41.46 billion and an 84.9% gross margin. With roughly 60% of Micron's global capacity and most of its HBM production concentrated in Taiwan, any production disruption could ripple through the global AI server supply chain. The company stated it will announce details of its highest-ever incentive compensation plan in October.

Within the Semiconductors sector, NVIDIA rose 1.65%, while Broadcom fell 5.67%, AMD declined 1.99%, Intel dropped 0.58%, and SK Hynix fell 3.27%.
