Top chip analyst Paul Meeks warns memory chip prices will remain high for years, impacting even Apple despite its strong product cycles. Apple faces rising costs that hurt its margins, while suppliers like Micron benefit from tight supply and strong demand, especially from AI growth. NVIDIA also gains as its AI GPUs require large memory capacity, offsetting cost pressures. The memory market is controlled by a few key players with limited supply expansion, locking in high prices through long-term contracts. Investors may favor memory and AI infrastructure stocks like Micron, SK Hynix, NVIDIA, and AI data center companies over consumer electronics for now.
CXMT is set to launch a new server memory product by the end of 2026, posing a direct threat to Micron, which sells memory, while Intel, a memory buyer, faces less risk. Micron's revenue heavily depends on DRAM sales, making it vulnerable to CXMT's i...
