Why it matters
The memory chip market is seeing a shift in investor attention from graphics processing units to memory chips and data center infrastructure, benefiting companies like Micron Technology and SanDisk. SanDisk's revenue growth was largely driven by higher pricing, and multiyear supply contracts now cover about half of the volume SanDisk expects for fiscal 2027.
The competitive landscape of the memory chip market is highlighted, with Micron Technology, Nvidia, and Tesla leading in various market segments.
