   Morgan Stanley lifts Q4 DRAM, NAND contract price forecasts; compute still top AI pick

   A Morgan Stanley report raised its memory contract-price forecasts: Q4 2026 DRAM contract prices are now seen up 10–15% quarter over quarter (from +3–8%), with PC DRAM at +13–18% and server DRAM at +10–15%, while NAND moves to +15–20% from +0–5% and enterprise SSDs reach +23–28%. The bank forecasts 2027 HBM average selling prices up 121% year over year, with HBM4 at US$3–5 per Gb and HBM4e above US$5, but says Nvidia's Rubin ramp is behind schedule, with 2026 VR200 NVL72 rack shipments estimated below 10,000 units versus an original target of about 15,000. It keeps its AI supply-chain priority of compute first, networking second and selective memory allocation, and projects DRAM capex of US$98 billion in 2026 (+82%) rising to US$150–160 billion in 2027.

   CXMT expects $19.6B Q1–Q3 profit as AI demand lifts DRAM prices

   Chinese memory chipmaker CXMT said in a preliminary filing that it expects net profit of 131B to 132.5B yuan ($19.6B–$19.8B) for January–September 2026, versus a 5.3B yuan loss a year earlier, with revenue of 265B to 270B yuan, up more than eightfold from 32.1B yuan. The company attributed the swing to fast-growing AI computing demand since the second half of 2025, which has lifted the global DRAM market, caused shortages and sharply raised prices, alongside added capacity and better wafer output. Its chairman also proposed buying back 1B to 2B yuan of shares over 12 months, per The Next Web. CXMT listed in Shanghai in July, when shares rose 466% on day one, and closed Friday with a market value of about 3.06T yuan; its claim that a fifth-generation DRAM is in mass production has not been verified by outside testers, while some Western brands such as Corsair have begun using Chinese DRAM.

   CXMT's 4F² DRAM breakthrough triggers global memory chip selloff

   On Oct. 10 CXMT president Cao Kanyu said at the 4th Integrated Chip and Chiplet Conference that the company had made key progress on a 4F² DRAM architecture built around its self-developed VSG vertical-surrounding-gate transistor, and expects to ship next-generation DDR5 RDIMM products combining 4F² with wafer-level hybrid bonding by year-end. Memory stocks then fell hard: Samsung closed down 7.39%, SK Hynix dropped 10.09%, the KOSPI lost 5.46% and triggered a SIDECAR program-trading halt, and Micron slipped below $1,000 a share, while CNBC tied the wider Asia tech rout partly to Fed rate-hike fears and worries about AI investment returns. The report also says CXMT posted first-half revenue of 150.3 billion yuan, up 873.64% year on year, with net profit of 77.6 billion yuan and a global DRAM revenue share that rose from 4% in Q2 2025 to 10% in Q2 2026, though its HBM3E is not expected to reach mass production until 2027, roughly three to four years behind Samsung and SK Hynix.

   AI memory squeeze: PC shipments fall 20%, but Lenovo and Dell earn more

   IDC data cited by the report shows global PC shipments of 62.7 million units in Q3 2026, down 20.1% year on year, with all top five vendors — Lenovo, HP, Dell, Apple and ASUS — declining (Apple -11.3%, HP -30.9%). The article attributes the pressure to AI datacenters taking memory capacity: a 16GB DDR5 module reportedly rose from about 300 yuan in September to about 1,400 yuan in January, and DRAM plus SSDs grew from roughly 15% to nearly 40% of PC cost, forcing vendors to raise prices and reprice far more often. Profits diverged: Apple's Mac revenue rose 29% to $10.35 billion, ASUS brand operating profit rose 230%, Lenovo's ISG revenue grew 98% and swung to profit, and Dell's AI server revenue of $16.4 billion exceeded its PC business, while HP's Personal Systems operating margin fell to 4.6%.
