    DRAM and NAND Spot Prices Reach Record Highs Heading Into Micron Q4 Earnings

    Question

    DRAM and NAND Spot Prices Reach Record Highs Heading Into Micron Q4 Earnings

    Direct answer

    August benchmark prices for DRAM and NAND flash reached all-time peaks amid severe capacity constraints and accelerating data center server demand. Price increases are projected to persist sequentially through 2027, setting up Micron Technology's September 30 fourth-quarter print as a key operational indicator for semiconductor memory margin trajectories.
