Claims

  • JP Morgan Research predicts DRAM and NAND average selling price growth will decelerate beginning in late 2026 to early 2027.
  • AI demand significantly altered the demand story for high-bandwidth memory and advanced servers in 2025-2026.
  • AI-driven demand has not changed the underlying supply-cycle physics of the memory market, meaning price softening will still occur.

Key quotes

JP Morgan Research: DRAM and NAND average selling price changes start hitting the brakes around late 2026 to early 2027.
AI has hugely changed the demand story in 2025-26 for high-bandwidth memory and advanced servers, but it has not changed the basic physics of the memory market.
