Xi Unleashes a Crisis for Millions of China’s Best-Paid Workers​

It’s 1 a.m. and Thomas Wu is riding his bike on the empty streets of Shanghai. The 43-year-old insurance executive has had another meltdown.

Wu’s pay has been slashed by 20% in a nationwide push to lower salaries at state-owned finance companies.

He frets about layoffs and wonders how he’ll find 600,000 yuan ($84,500) to keep his two children in international school — a hallmark of upper-middle-class life in China. His six-year-old is behind in math.

Morgan Stanley released a report drastically lowering target stock prices of SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics on September 15.
On September 15, Morgan Stanley released a report drastically lowering SK Hynix's target stock price by 54%, from 260,000 won (approximately $200) to 120,000 won, and adjusting Samsung Electronics' target stock price downward by 27.6%, from 105,000 won to 76,000 won. The reasons cited were a decrease in demand for general DRAM due to reduced smartphone and PC demand and an oversupply of high-bandwidth memory (HBM), leading to price drops. Morgan Stanley also downgraded its investment opinion on the Korean tech sector from “neutral” to “cautious.”

Morgan Stanley predicts that next year, the supply of HBM by memory companies will reach 250 billion gigabits (Gb), exceeding the demand (150 billion Gb) by 66.7%. It also forecasts that Samsung Electronics' full-scale entry into the HBM market will be a major cause of the oversupply.

The semiconductor industry views this outlook as excessively pessimistic. They argue that Morgan Stanley ignored the characteristics of the HBM market, which produces customized products with customer approval. SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics have publicly announced that "HBM volumes are sold out until 2025."

Micron’s (NASDAQ:MU) earnings are coming with the memory giant slated to announce its F4Q24 results on September 25 after the market closes.

With the print about to drop, it looks like some bulls on Wall Street have been getting cold feet. Fears of a DRAM oversupply have surfaced, leading to lowered expectations.

Citi analyst Christopher Danely is also amongst those expecting soft results and a disappointing outlook on account of “legacy DRAM weakness

Micron’s stock drops as first ‘death cross’ in 2 years appears​

Last death cross appeared in April 2022 — and the stock fell another 30% before bottoming 5 months later​

Shares of Micron Technology Inc. slumped Monday, just as a longer-term bearish chart pattern appeared for the first time in more than two years — a warning that losses could start accelerating.
Monday’s weakness comes as Morgan Stanley analysts gave a downbeat assessment of the outlook for Micron and the memory-chip market, as they believe earnings-growth expectations will peak and reverse in the coming quarters, which could lead to a near-30% contraction in valuation for the sector.
The Morgan Stanley analysts kept the rating on Micron’s stock MU at equal weight, but slashed the price target to $100 from $140
