RE:RE:RE:Micron DealPardon me? The Micron settlement happened in Q4 and not Q3. If it had been signed in Q3 then, yes, you'd have to think the settlement amount was not huge if there were no preannouncement soon.
The key time frame in this case (for a preannouncement) will be the few weeks prior to the release of Q4 numbers--next February or March.
Note that even if there ultimately were no preannouncement that need not mean that the settlement was not material. Lots of material things happen without any need to preannounce. The test for a preannouncement is surely much higher than the test for what is material. It has to be kind of super-material. Otherwise it would be fine for the news to wait for the scheduled earnings release date--at which point it would be disclosed along all the various other material details.
