Micron’s Q3 profits survive Huawei ban

Financial analysts had diminished expectations for Micron’s Q3 revenue after the US imposed a ban on American companies conducting business with Huawei. Micron chief executive officer (CEO), Sanjay Mehrotra, explained how the chipmaker company complied with the US trade ban, but still found a way to conduct business with Huawei.
‘To ensure compliance Micron immediately suspended shipments to Huawei and began a review of Micron products sold to Huawei to determine whether they are subject to the imposed restrictions,’ said Mehrotra.
‘Through this review we determined that we could lawfully resume shipping a subset of current products because they are not subject to export administration regulations and entity list restrictions. We have started shipping some orders of those products to Huawei in the last two weeks,’ added Mehrotra.
