Toto’s advanced ceramics unit is surging as AI chip demand boosts sales of parts used in NAND memory production, including electrostatic chucks.

The gains show how the AI semiconductor boom is lifting unexpected industrial suppliers beyond traditional tech companies.

At the same time, the rally raises concerns that some of these AI-linked gains could be overheated.
