Prices and capacity are rising together as demand for fiber, a core material for data transmission, keeps climbing.

As AI server prices rise, original design manufacturers (ODMs) are hitting record revenue, but also coming under pressure on their gross margins. To defend profitability, manufacturers are cutting costs, negotiating with customers to switch from buy-sell procurement to consignment, and chasing ASIC and general-purpose server orders.

Biwin Storage Technology recently resubmitted its listing application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange again, with Huatai Financial Holdings acting as the sole sponsor. The Chinese memory module maker has seen a rebound in profit as demand for memory continues to rise.

Market fears over Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin platform have eased after supply-chain sources said design issues tied to a cooling architecture change have largely been resolved. Nvidia has now confirmed a mass-production plan with ODMs and key suppliers, putting development back on track and pointing to a volume ramp from the third quarter of 2026.

Auras Technology reported record first-quarter results and said it expects revenue and profit to grow quarter by quarter in 2026, dismissing market talk that a design tweak on Nvidia's Vera Rubin server cooling system would harm its business.
