Samsung Targets Up to 20% Q3 DRAM ASP Increase on AI Data-Center Demand

The immediate equity reaction (Samsung and SK Hynix sharply higher) signals a market repricing of near-term earnings leverage across memory and AI hardware supply chains, with potential spillover to semis and related tech indices.
