2. Recent situation of ADI
The scarce materials of ADI are mainly concentrated in industrial control and vehicle gauge materials, and the delivery time of these products is generally over 26 weeks. In October, the majority of the demand is concentrated in industrial automation, robotics, motor control, sensors and other fields. At present, there is sufficient stock of general materials in the ADI market, with some cases experiencing price inversion.
3. Miguang may raise prices again
Due to the continuous expansion of demand forecasts, Meguiar may once again raise product prices. In the case of NAND flash memory, costs may increase by at least 20% to 30%, so customers are buying before cost adjustments to buffer inventory.

HPSD is a 100% subsidiary of Hitachi, and MinebeaMitsumi aims to acquire all equity in HPSD. However, MinebeaMitsumi did not disclose the specific acquisition schedule and size of the acquisition amount. As of the announcement date, MinebeaMitsumi had signed a share purchase agreement with Hitachi.
7. The AI Wave Promotes a Great Leap Forward in HBM Demand
HBM is a type of memory installed on high-end AI chips, belonging to a category of DRAM, mainly supplied by three major suppliers: Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron. With the AI craze driving demand for AI chips, the demand for HBM has also increased in 2023 and 2024, prompting original factories to increase HBM production capacity. Looking ahead to 2024, the supply situation of HBM is expected to improve significantly. In terms of specifications, as AI chips require higher performance, the mainstream of HBM will also shift to HBM3 and HBM3e in 2024. Overall, with an increase in demand and higher average sales prices of HBM3 and HBM3e compared to previous generation products, HBM's revenue is expected to show significant growth in 2024.
