Conference Call: NAND Supply Discipline and Antitrust Risk

Thu, Feb 12, 2026 | 2:00 pm EST

On Thursday, February 12 at 2:00 p.m. ET, The Capitol Forum will host a conference call to discuss our latest reporting: As Memory Chip Suppliers Hike Prices, Recent Industry-wide Cuts to NAND Supply, Investment Could Draw Scrutiny Over Potential Collusion.

This timely discussion will examine how coordinated production cuts, reduced capital expenditures, and public signaling by major NAND manufacturers are contributing to a sharp supply crunch and record price increases. As NAND prices are projected to rise more than 200% between 2025 and 2026, the shortage is beginning to impact consumer electronics costs and could attract scrutiny from antitrust enforcers and private litigants.

During the call, we will explore:

  • Industry-wide reductions in NAND output and capital investment since the 2022–2023 downturn
  • Market concentration and the complex relationships among Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix, Kioxia, and SanDisk
  • Whether AI-driven demand fully explains the current shortage
  • The potential legal and regulatory risks facing the industry

We hope you can join us for what promises to be an in-depth conversation on competition dynamics in the global semiconductor market.
