On September 11, Silicon Motion Technology rose 5.18% in regular trading, trading at $279.27/share, with turnover of approximately $41.88 million. The stock rebounded sharply after closing down 4.48% in the prior session.
The previous session's decline was triggered by Kioxia's CEO signaling a cooling in memory price hikes, compounded by data showing July global memory sales fell 16.3% quarter-over-quarter, sparking profit-taking across the storage sector. Despite the volume contraction, DRAM and NAND average selling prices rose 8.3% and 9.8% respectively, maintaining a price-up-volume-down dynamic that had raised demand sustainability concerns.
As a global leader in NAND flash controller chip design occupying a core upstream position in the storage supply chain, Silicon Motion Technology has been among the highest-beta names in the current memory upcycle. The prior session's pullback attracted dip-buying capital, driving the intraday recovery in line with broader sector strength. Notably, Q2 global DRAM market size reached a record $147.02 billion, up 55.9% sequentially, underpinning the structural demand backdrop.
