On July 17, KIOXIA Holdings fell 12.96% in regular trading, trading at $30.83/share, with turnover of $27.13 million. The stock has continued its steep decline driven by mounting concerns over competition from China's Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC), compounded by broad-based semiconductor sector weakness.
On the news front, Bernstein analyst Mark Li set a target price of 40,000 yen for Kioxia, noting that YMTC's global NAND flash market share reached 13% in Q1, a 5-percentage-point increase year-over-year, and is projected to surpass Kioxia by 2028. Unlike Samsung and SK Hynix, which maintain diversified semiconductor portfolios, Kioxia operates exclusively in the NAND segment, leaving it with significantly greater risk exposure to competitive displacement. The stock's high-beta characteristics have amplified losses during the systematic semiconductor sector pullback, with peers including Micron Technology down 3.7%, NVIDIA down 3.96%, AMD down 7.5%, Intel down 6.39%, and TSMC down 4.6%.
