🔥❄️Beating Isn't Enough? The AI "Ice and Fire" Saga: CRWV, NBIS,CHOR, SMIC, CSCO, CRBS

Kiwoom cut its SK hynix target price from KRW 2.2M to KRW 2.1M, while Samsung Electronics was cut from KRW 390K to KRW 350K. The concern is not 2026 earnings. It is what happens after 2027. The market is starting to ask: If memory prices stay this high and new capacity comes online, are we approaching another peak-out? NAND margins have already recovered sharply for several quarters. That is exactly why investors are now questioning how long these elevated profits can last. 🤝 But SK and Kioxia Are Gettin
