Memory chip prices to stay high for years, squeezing Apple but boosting Micron and NVIDIA amid AI demand.

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.
