  • Kioxia has revised its outlook, projecting an operating income of ¥3.16 trillion for the fiscal half-year, which is lower than market expectations. The company's forecast for the current quarter stands at ¥1.89 trillion, indicating a potential slowdown in the memory chip market.
  • This news has raised concerns among investors who were optimistic about a memory chip boom. Kioxia's performance may reflect broader trends in the semiconductor industry.
