Server demand is lifting 2Q26 RDIMM contract prices, while the spot market remains weak. SK hynix has seen a surge in profits and is ramping up mass production of new products. Amid low inventory and capacity bottlenecks, RDIMM prices have overtaken HBM; however, SK hynix is prioritizing long-term balance between HBM and conventional DRAM over short-term gains.

Key Highlights

Market Divergence: Strong CSP demand lifts 2Q26 RDIMM contract prices, while weak consumer demand drags spot prices down.
Profits & Nodes: SK hynix earnings surged on server demand, with advanced node mass production underway for mobile and server memory.
Supply Outlook: High-capacity demand fuels shipments, but inventories have hit rock bottom and new fab contributions remain limited in the short term.
HBM Strategy: Demand far exceeds capacity. Despite RDIMM prices surpassing HBM, suppliers prioritize supply balance over short-term profit maximization.
