What happened

YMTC plans to build two new fabs, each with a maximum capacity of 100K wafers per month, with one dedicated to NAND production. The expansion's success hinges on the maturity of China's domestic semiconductor equipment ecosystem, particularly for high-layer (400+) NAND. Bearish: This represents a significant potential increase in NAND supply, contingent on overcoming equipment sourcing challenges.
