Company Report

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix: While Memory Prices Rise in 2024, HBM Competition Will Intensify

According to two South Korean memory suppliers’ earnings, DRAM prices rose by nearly 20% and NAND prices more than 30% sequentially in the March quarter, exceeding the forecasts we made three months ago. While memory suppliers continued to lower capacity utilization to reduce inventories, 1) demand for high-end memory, such as high bandwidth memory, remained robust and contributed to an improved product mix, and 2) smartphone manufacturers procured memory in anticipation of a memory price hike this year, creating a tight supply/demand situation.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Samsung's flexible-screen advantage can be leveraged into increased smartphone market share.

Bears

Samsung generates about 20%-25% of earnings from mobile devices. Competition in this space has spiked dramatically, with new players offering similar devices to Samsung at much lower prices. Samsung’s market share and margins appear vulnerable.
