总部位于东京的NAND闪存制造商铠侠控股公司公布的利润展望低于分析师预期，并警告称由AI推动的芯片价格飙升正在放缓。
Kioxia Forecasts Quarterly Profit Below Estimates as NAND Price Growth Slows Kioxia Holdings Corp., the Tokyo-based NAND flash memory maker, reported a profit outlook that trailed analyst estimates and warned that an AI-driven surge in chip prices is easing.
这家与三星电子、SK海力士和美光科技竞争的公司表示，预计本季度营业利润为2万亿日元（约合127亿美元），而市场预期为2.35万亿日元。这一指引是在截至9月的三个月里，NAND平均售价涨幅处于20%中段区间之后发布的，较前一季度70%的涨幅大幅回落，此前已连续几个季度快速扩张。
The company, a rival to Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron Technology, said it expects operating profit of 2 trillion yen ($12.7 billion) in the current quarter, compared with estimates for 2.35 trillion yen. The guidance follows the three months to September, when average selling prices for NAND rose in the mid-20 percent range, down from 70 percent growth in the prior quarter after several quarters of rapid expansion.
