Memory watch: the dip gets bought, and Wall Street calls the CXMT panic overdone
After a week that erased $700B+ from memory stocks, Monday brought the counter-punch: a KOSPI that opened down 3% and closed up 1.76%, a Wall Street chorus — Goldman, Citi, BofA — calling the CXMT fear overdone, and a premarket bid across Micron, SanDisk and SK Hynix. The rebound is real; earnings on Oct 28–29 decide if it's a turn.
The AI hardware rout deepens: SOX logs its longest losing streak since 2008
Chips just had their worst week of the AI era: the SOX's longest losing streak since 2008, a circuit breaker in Seoul, and double-digit losses from Nvidia to SK Hynix. Underneath the rate scare, though, Friday's flows say the capex thesis is being bought, not buried.
Memory stocks watch: the rout meets the bottleneck
Micron −15% in five days. SanDisk −19%. SK Hynix −20%. And underneath: HBM4 contract pricing up 117% in a week, 2027 prices forecast to double, and foreign buyers stepping into Seoul's lows. The rout and the fundamentals have never pointed in more opposite directions.
