Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The demand for memory and storage, driven by the AI buildout, is currently outpacing supply capacity. This gap between committed customer demand and the time required for new fabrication facilities to reach meaningful production is expected to maintain pricing power for memory and storage suppliers.
