Rising memory prices curb next year's smartphone output, eased by pulled and downgraded parts; server demand props up quotes, but ample consumer inventory leaves trading thin.
Key Highlights
- This year's smartphone output is revised up slightly, but year-end share pushes risk pulling forward next year's demand.
- Next year's outlook is cut on weak demand and rising memory costs, with pulled and downgraded parts cushioning the decline.
- LPDRAM and NAND Flash contract prices keep rising, and Samsung's lead may drive steeper DRAM hikes early next year.
- Server demand keeps supplier quotes high, but ample consumer inventory and softer spot prices leave trading thin.
