My top maker just put primary numbers under the AI story: server-capacitor growth guided at roughly 85-90%, revised up from about 30%, and a first broken-out data-center line up 74% last year, guided up 84%. Roughly 80 billion yen of emergency capacity spending followed. The #3 maker independently confirmed the structure — customers multi-source from a limited qualified set, an oligopoly held by qualification, not contracts. The cleanest evidence comes from the top of that oligopoly; the #3 does not disclose its data-center split.

Yes. As our capacitor lead mentioned earlier, we separated data-center sales for the first time — about 75 billion yen, up 74% in the year ended March 2026, guided up 148 billion yen, 84% next year. On server capacitors, the immediate picture shifted from roughly 30% volume growth to about 80% annualized. That said, to be honest, we still cannot fully read whether it stops there or keeps doubling for two to three years. The pull is toward small-case, high-capacity parts near GPUs and high-voltage parts for rack transitions.
