BofA Signals Quiet Iran Risk to Chips, Lifts Memory-Market Outlook
Bank of America analysts see limited supply-chain disruptions to semiconductors from the Iran conflict and have raised their outlook for the global memory-chip market. They note memory-chip makers hold ample inventories of key materials and are diversifying suppliers, which helps ease pressure. The firm also expects firmer DRAM and NAND prices driven by AI data-center demand and cloud computing, predicting higher global memory revenues for the year and continued profitability recovery for major chipmakers; analysts still favor several chip stocks (MU, MRVL, TSM, AVGO).
