KIOXIA is trading at ¥61,880, down 3.7% today, following a broad pullback in memory-chip stocks and concerns over future demand.

  • Sentiment weakened following reports that Apple may adopt memory-compression technology, which could potentially reduce future DRAM and NAND demand.
  • The sector-wide decline has prompted profit-taking after strong recent gains, raising questions about the durability of the current memory upcycle.
  • The move is primarily driven by industry-wide sentiment rather than any new, company-specific announcements from KIOXIA.
