Investors will look for details on the demand for memory chips, which power nearly every electronic device. Last quarter, CEO Sanjay Mehotra reported: “increased confidence that the industry has passed the bottom for both quarterly revenue and year-on-year revenue growth.”

Micron may also provide an update on its status in China, which has become a focal point for the company after Beijing in May blacklisted the company. Mehrotra in June said the effect of the decision remains uncertain and fluid.
