Summary of Conference Call on Storage Chip Market and PCB Industry Industry Overview - The storage chip market has experienced a comprehensive price increase since September 2025, driven by supply-side contraction and explosive AI demand. Major players like Samsung have raised DRAM and NAND Flash prices, while Micron has paused its pricing, with expectations of continued price increases into 2026-2027 [1][3][5]. Key Points on Storage Chips - NAND Flash Market: Major manufacturers are reducing capacity expansion, leading to a projected 30% price increase next year. Enterprise SSD demand is surging, with price increases expected to exceed 10 percentage points, continuing into 2026 [1][5][6]. - DRAM Market: AI server demand has significantly increased, with OpenAI expected to consume 900,000 DRAM wafers. The overall price increase for DRAM, especially HBM, is anticipated to persist until 2026 due to rising memory capacities in mobile devices [1][8]. - NOR Flash Market: Supply is contracting due to structural growth in AI and automotive electronics, with expectations of increased demand for NOR Flash capacity by 2026, despite weak demand in traditional consumer electronics [1][9]. - Price Trends: The overall price of storage chips is expected to continue rising throughout 2026, with NAND prices projected to increase by at least 30% due to rising KV Cache storage needs and slow expansion rates [1][10]. Key Points on PCB Industry - Market Dynamics: The PCB sector is following the development of overseas computing power chains, with TSMC raising its capital expenditure forecast. NVIDIA's GPU AISC shipments are expected to increase significantly, and domestic computing power chips in China are anticipated to see substantial growth by 2026 [1][13]. - CCL Market: Recent price increases in the CCL market are primarily driven by strong demand for high-end PCB products and rising raw material costs. This year has seen two significant price adjustments, which is unusual in the industry [1][14][15]. - Future Demand Drivers: The PCB market demand will be driven by factors such as the Robin plan, changes in CVG Tree materials, and CPS structures, with the value of PCBs per GPU expected to rise significantly [1][17]. - Challenges and Opportunities: The PCB industry faces challenges such as material application uncertainties and potential competition from new suppliers. However, domestic companies are expected to gain more opportunities through sample progress [1][18]. Investment Recommendations - Focus on companies with significant NAND exposure and large DRAM enterprises, as well as companies in the long-term storage industry that are expanding 3D NAND and DRAM capacities [1][12]. - The overall outlook for the PCB and CCL sectors is optimistic, with potential for valuation increases due to high demand driven by AI and technological advancements [1][19][20].
