0254 GMT - A multiyear semiconductor-industry boom is approaching, say Nomura analysts led by C.W. Chung in a research note. Big U.S. tech companies' investments in both artificial-intelligence and conventional servers are set to boost memory-chip demand and bring profit margins for DRAM and NAND products to record highs in 2026, they say. "Therefore, we believe the memory market is likely to experience an unprecedented super-cycle, with substantial investment continuing into 2027 and 2028," the analysts note. Nomura raises its target prices for the top memory-chip makers, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, by 46% and 50%, respectively, reflecting an upgraded operating-profit outlook for both stocks.
