Prediction 01
2026 closes between $1.30 and $1.45 trillion — below WSTS's $1.51T spring call.
High confidence
Prediction 08
At least one $10B+ hyperscaler data-center program slips publicly — on power, not chips.
High confidence
Prediction 02
Memory peaks as a share of industry revenue in 2027 — above 40% for the first time since 2018.
High confidence
Prediction 03
HBM4E customization triggers the first major share shift since HBM began.
Medium confidence
Prediction 07
Huawei clears 2.5M+ Ascend dies in 2027 — but HBM caps real deployments.
High confidence
Prediction 10
No AI winter — but an equipment air pocket in late 2027.
