On August 27, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares rose 8.24% in after-hours trading, trading at $32.09/share, with turnover of $37.16 million. As a 2x leveraged bull ETF on Micron Technology, the fund amplified its underlying stock's after-hours gain of approximately 3.05%.
The move was driven by Micron Technology's announcement of a major leadership restructuring. Manish Bhatia was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer, taking full responsibility for global operations and business units, while Scott DeBoer was elevated to President and Chief Technology & Product Officer, overseeing the next-generation memory and storage product roadmap along with Micron Research Labs. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra stated the organizational changes aim to strengthen collaboration in response to surging customer demand in the AI era.
Additionally, the broader semiconductor sector provided a tailwind, with NVIDIA rising 4.4% during the regular session, helping restore sentiment across memory and storage names after a period of sharp declines earlier in the week.
