Memory chip stocks reversed earlier losses in after-hours trading. The rebound appears driven by positive industry reports that countered daytime concerns over competition and the sustainability of AI-driven spending. News highlighted that major producers like Samsung have already secured long-term supply contracts for a significant portion of their 2027 output. Additionally, market analysis from TrendForce forecasts a substantial 20% quarter-over-quarter increase in DRAM contract prices for the fourth quarter of 2026, signaling continued tight supply and robust demand from the AI sector.
