- Neutral Sentiment: Consumer pieces on monetizing MU shares (covered income strategies) reflect retail interest and higher retail participation after the run, but these are tactical/derivative stories rather than fundamental drivers. Read More.
- Negative Sentiment: A company director recently sold about $1.32M of MU stock — a potential trigger for short‑term profit taking and an item some investors watch as a cautionary signal (though size is modest vs. market cap). Read More.
