A comment on a news flash that is easily misread. Samsung and SK Hynix's stock prices have plummeted these days, causing a market uproar: is it a peak, or a mistaken sell-off? Goldman Sachs' judgment is quite firm—HBM is expected to double at most next year, and Hynix is about to announce a buyback plan soon. On one hand, the stock price has dropped sharply; on the other, institutions are calling for price increases and the leader is preparing a buyback to support the price. This divergence itself is information. My interpretation is: the pit caused by emotional selling and the pit caused by weakening fundamentals are two different things; don't confuse them. The narrative around storage is not over yet; a pullback does not mean the logic is broken. Those who understand know, the real issue is never "whether it fell," but "why it fell."
