CSP demand keeps 4Q26 DRAM and NAND prices rising, led by AI, while weak consumer demand narrows other gains.
Key Highlights
- Supply Shift: Capacity favors server DRAM and HBM, squeezing consumer.
- Server Demand: CSPs add RDIMM orders for agentic AI; LTAs cap hikes.
- Consumer Strain: Cost pass-through cuts NB and phone shipments.
- NAND Divergence: QLC enterprise SSD accelerates on KV cache; others lag.
Table of Contents
- Rising AI Server Demand Will Sustain Contract Price Rally, but Margin-Related Pressures in Consumer Segments and a High Baseline Will Lead to Divergent Trends Across Applications
- AI Server Demand Continues to Support 4Q26 DRAM Price Hikes, but Profit Margins in Consumer Segments Remain Squeezed
- Price Projections on Different Categories of DRAM Products
- Hyperscalers Raise QLC Enterprise SSD Orders to Accommodate KV Cache; 4Q26 Contract Prices for Enterprise SSD Surge 23-28% QoQ Against Trend, Consumer Segments See Only Minimal Compensatory Increases, Overall NAND Flash Up 15-20% QoQ
- Price Projections on Different Categories of NAND Flash Products
