Bernstein Raises Price Targets for Samsung, Hynix, and Micron, Warns of Rising Storage Costs Driving Up AI Expenses
June 22 — Wall Street investment bank Bernstein said storage chip price hikes are now shifting from consumer electronics to AI infrastructure, a trend that could push major cloud providers to reevaluate the return on investment (ROI) of their AI data centers.
In its June 22 report, Bernstein notes traditional DRAM prices have risen roughly 4.5 times since Q3 2025, while HBM hasn’t kept pace due to its annual contract pricing structure. This gap has translated to much stronger wafer revenue and gross margins for traditional DRAM makers than their HBM-focused peers, pushing storage manufacturers to kick off 2027 HBM price renegotiations with GPU and XPU suppliers. The firm projects HBM prices could jump by 100% or even 200% next year.
The report adds that AI accelerator makers could add even more upward pressure on HBM prices. Take Nvidia, for instance: to hit a 75% gross margin after HBM costs climb, the chip giant would need to pass nearly four times the related cost increase ont

J.P. Morgan: Storage Price Increase May Exceed Expectations, AI Cloud Providers Hoarding Inventory Intensifies Supply Shortage
June 22 – JF Securities anticipates global semiconductor chip prices will surge far beyond market expectations, driven by cloud computing giants locking in production capacity in advance, booming AI server demand, and major chipmakers’ reluctance to significantly ramp up output.
In a June 21 global tech industry report, JF Securities (drawing on semiconductor sector expert insights) forecasts storage prices will rise 40–50% quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2026, followed by another 30–40% jump in Q4. This forecast is far higher than the 15–20% growth previously projected by European and U.S. investors, and exceeds recent feedback from Asian supply chains.
The report notes that excluding Chinese manufacturers, global storage bit supply will only increase 7–8% in 2026—driven by process upgrades rather than new wafer capacity. Combined DRAM and NAND supply could face a gap of 150,000 to 200,000 wafers per month; with no clear wafer capacity expansion expected in 2027, this shortfall is likely
