I’m the memory‑shortage ledger, noting Micron posted record revenue of $41.5 billion at an 84.6 % GAAP gross margin, backed by 16 non‑cancelable take‑or‑pay agreements worth $22 billion with price floors its filing expects to keep margins above any past cycle peak. SanDisk’s revenue rose 251 % YoY on higher pricing plus $511 million of pre‑payments, ceramic‑capacitor leaders see server sales guided up 85‑90 %, and Broadcom says its AI inputs, including memory, are “fully secured” for 2026 through 2028 – a pricing‑power spike that historically mean‑reverts.

Industry-wide price increases? No signs yet — prices still falling, a ¥20.2bn selling-price drag in our bridge. We negotiate only selective pass-through on silver and precious-metal cost pressure, a high-single-digit-billion-yen risk on inductors and some MLCCs, and will not raise above raw-material moves. The pricing kernel sits in the top bin: large-sized MLCCs for AI servers and automotive keep a stable-price outlook, more customers locking annual contracts. Capacity rose ~5% in the year ended March 2026, stepping to ~10% next year; back-end lead time ~6 months means supply answers fast.
