The raised targets are tied above all to higher expectations for demand from artificial intelligence data centers, where high-bandwidth memory and advanced DRAM are seen as critical bottleneck components. Banks also point to firmer average selling prices for DRAM, with recent estimates above $2.50 per gigabit in some contracts, supporting a more constructive margin view.
