🚨 MEMORY STOCKS CRASH: $450 BILLION WIPED OUT
One Google update + an oil war = disaster for memory stocks. 💥
The growth story for Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, and Sandisk was simple: AI demand for memory would keep booming. Analysts were bullish. Orders were booked through 2026. The memory supercycle seemed unstoppable. 🚀
Then came Google TurboQuant. This AI algorithm slashed memory usage by 6x, forcing investors to ask the uncomfortable question: If AI needs 6x less memory, why keep buying chips? 🤯
Before the sector could recover, the Iran war hit. South Korea, home to most memory chip production, relies on 81% imported energy. Energy costs surged after the Strait of Hormuz closure, crushing fab margins. ⚡💸
📉 The result: One of the biggest crashes in memory stock history.
Micron: down 30%, $172B gone
Sandisk: down 25%, $20B gone
Samsung: down 18%, $168B gone
SK Hynix: down 18%, $87B gone
Investors are left wondering: Is the memory supercycle dead, or just paused? 🧐
