Memory Inventories Just Fell Below 10 Days. This Is More Important Than Another HBM Forecast.

Memory inventories below 10 days matter because the industry is running out of the inventory buffer that normally absorbs unexpected changes in demand. HBM4, long-term customer agreements and uncommitted bit supply now matter more than another HBM demand forecast.
