Micron May Benefit From Western Digital And Kioxia Production Accidents

Affected by the production accident of Western Digital and Kioxia, the stock price of Micron in regular trading rose by US$94.64, an increase of 7.4% on February 14th. Since there are just few memory chip manufacturers in the world, a production accident at one manufacturer can lead to tight supplies and higher prices.

This Wednesday, NAND flash memory chip makers Western Digital and Kioxia will announce contamination of critical materials at two of their factories in Japan, affecting output. Western Digital said the affected NAND chip storage capacity reached 6.5 exabytes, and considering the output of Kioxia, the supply tension will be intensified. Some professior estimate that the accident could affect 10 percent of NAND flash chip production this quarter.
