Elite Semiconductor rides niche DRAM price hikes

<p class="P1" data-sourcepos="5:1-5:467;97-563">Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology (ESMT) has benefited from a severe supply shortage in the niche memory market. July revenue jumped 40% from June to a monthly record, extending an explosive second-quarter 2026 performance. The company said higher product prices and tighter supply-demand conditions are driving the surge, and it expects the extreme capacity crunch to continue, with the second half of the year likely to outperform the first half.
