GIGADEVICE's stock price soared 5.25% during the intraday session on Wednesday, marking a significant upward movement.
The surge is attributed to a comprehensive boom in China's memory industry, with March and April monthly revenues generally hitting record highs. Niche manufacturers are operating at full capacity, and contract prices have risen multiple times, with acute shortages in segments like eMMC. The company itself reported significant year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter growth in both revenue and profit for the first quarter.
Furthermore, AI-fueled demand for high capacity is driving the sector, and the implementation of binding long-term agreements is seen as providing significant assurance for the performance visibility and growth of memory companies. With the current memory shortage intensifying and supply unlikely to increase substantially in the short term, the supply-demand gap is anticipated to persist, supporting a continued upward trend in memory contract prices.
