摩根大通美光调研:新厂提前投产也只能满足一半需求,上下文窗口存储成NAND新增长点
Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2026-01-08 13:07
美光科技高管在最新投资者会议上发出明确信号:即便新建晶圆厂在2027年投产,DRAM和HBM的供 需紧张状况仍难以解决。 据追风交易台,美光首席财务官Mark Murphy、首席商务官Sumit Sadana在摩根大通最近组织的投资者 会议上重申,公司目前仅能满足关键客户中期需求的50%至三分之二。即使爱达荷州新建的Idaho 1晶 圆厂将于2027年中期提前一个季度量产,但产能爬坡将是渐进式的,而需求仍在持续攀升。 这一供需失衡格局将为存储器价格提供持续支撑。据摩根大通预测,2026年DRAM平均价格将同比上 涨近60%。 美光管理层表示,竞争对手的新建产能要到2027年底和2028年才能陆续投产,且同样面临产能爬坡的物 理限制。摩根大通认为供应紧张将延续至2026年之后,支撑价格进一步走强。 供应缺口难以弥合,新产能爬坡缓慢 美光管理层在会议上透露,公司已将Idaho 1晶圆厂的首片晶圆产出时间提前约一个季度至2027年中 期。但管理层强调,这座新建晶圆厂的产能爬坡将是渐进式的,并非受资本限制,而是受物理条件制 约。 竞争对手的新建产能同样面临类似挑战。摩根大通指出,其他厂商的新建晶圆厂要到2027年底和 ...
