On July 16, KIOXIA Holdings fell 12.41% in regular trading, trading at $37.01/share, with turnover of $5.91 million.
On the news front, intensifying competition concerns from China's Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) weighed heavily on the stock. Bernstein analyst Mark Li set a target price of 40,000 yen for KIOXIA, noting that YMTC's global NAND market share reached 13% in Q1, up 5 percentage points year-over-year. He projected YMTC will surpass KIOXIA by 2028. Unlike diversified peers such as Samsung and SK Hynix, KIOXIA operates exclusively in NAND flash, exposing it to greater competitive risk should YMTC aggressively expand production and trigger price wars.
The broader semiconductor sector continued to decline, with Intel down 3.47%, Micron Technology down 3.46%, Advanced Micro Devices down 3.05%, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing down 2.10%, and NVIDIA down 2.01%. As a high-beta storage chip stock, KIOXIA's decline significantly exceeded sector peers during the systematic pullback.
