On June 23, GraniteShares 2x Long MU ETF (MULL) declined 14.59% in pre-market trading, with the stock at $903.03 and turnover of approximately $7.41 million. As a 2x leveraged product tracking Micron Technology, the ETF amplifies underlying moves ahead of Micron's fiscal Q3 earnings report scheduled for June 24 after market close.
The options market is pricing in approximately 15% post-earnings volatility for Micron, with implied volatility reaching 164%. Large institutional put orders totaling $36 million in far-dated contracts have been observed, signaling significant downside hedging activity. Meanwhile, short-term call option holders have been closing positions to lock in profits following an 817% rally over the past 12 months.
Notably, historical patterns show that despite Micron beating earnings expectations for 12 consecutive quarters, the stock declined in 7 of those post-earnings sessions. With consensus expecting EPS growth exceeding 1,000% year-over-year and revenue of approximately $350 billion, market focus has shifted to sustainability of margins above 80% and forward guidance rather than the current quarter's absolute figures.
