description: "Morgan Stanley: Memory Pricing&gt; 📈 3Q26 DRAM Outlook: TrendForce forecasts a 13–18% QoQ conventional DRAM price hike, perfectly matching GS estimates (+16% for Samsung).&gt; 💻 PC &amp; Server Strength: PC DRAM expected up 15–20% QoQ as OEMs aggressively build inventory. Server DRAM tracking up 13–18% QoQ, fueled by a widening DDR5 premium (now 22% over DDR4).&gt; 📱 Mobile DRAM Cooling: Expected up 8–13% QoQ. A noticeable cooldown from massive 2Q spikes (73–85%) as suppliers ease hikes to support consumer electronics supply chains.&gt; ⚠️ NAND Falling Short: TrendForce projects a 10–15% QoQ increase—missing Goldman's +21% estimate. While Enterprise SSDs hold strong (+18–23%), consumer NAND (eMMC/UFS) is soft at +5–10%.&gt; 📊 Spot vs. Contract: Spot market continues to lead. DDR5 16Gb spot carries a 17% premium over contract, while older DDR4 8Gb spot sits at a steep 38% premium."
