KIOXIA is trading 3.6% down at ¥59,670 following reports that Apple is exploring memory-compression technology that could significantly reduce future demand for DRAM and NAND chips.

  • The decline aligns with a broader 4.15% selloff across the memory-chip sector as investors reassess the AI memory supercycle and engage in profit-taking.
  • KIOXIA remains particularly sensitive to demand-risk headlines due to recent heightened price volatility.
