Memory Thoughts – Pricing Starting to Bite, SNDK eSSD Share Gains: On Thursday (06/25), both

Microsoft and Apple announced price hikes to a range of consumer electronic products including

Xbox, iPads, Macbook Pros and more (Figure 1). We expect additional price hikes tied to the iPhone

18 release, which is expected later this year. Specifically, Microsoft noted that Memory prices have

increased by more than 2.5x and they expect prices to double again by the fall of 2027. The surge in

Memory pricing that began in September of last year has been well documented, but we continue

to view the potential impact from demand destruction outside of AI DC as an underappreciated

headwind for Enterprise Server CPUs, PCs, and Consumer, with potential for impact to Auto & .

Industrial as well.
