A Samsung factory strike may push DRAM and NAND prices even higher

Samsung’s labor talks with its union have stalled, putting an 18-day strike at its Pyeongtaek and Hwaseong plants on track.

Analysts warn the strike could cut DRAM and NAND output, worsening the global memory-chip shortage.

Tighter supply could push memory prices higher and add pressure across the semiconductor supply chain.

The disruption would matter for electronics makers and consumers already facing a severe chip crunch.
