Korean Market Crash Triggers the Reversal <\/h2>\n
South Korea’s Kospi closed 10% lower on Tuesday, with memory giants SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics both sliding more than 12%. Trading was briefly suspended for about 20 minutes to slow the cascade, and AI-linked stocks fell across Japan and Europe. <\/p>\n
Because SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron are among the top holdings of the Roundhill Memory ETF<\/strong> (NYSEARCA:DRAM<\/a>), the contagion was immediate. The DRAM ETF is down 14% pre-market, crashing despite SanDisk and Western Digital’s HDD\/NAND mix differing from pure DRAM exposure. <\/p>\nAct now:<\/strong> the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks \u2014 and Micron Technology didn’t make the cut.

SanDisk stock had gained 858% year to date (YTD), Micron stock was up 325% YTD, and Western Digital stock had climbed 326% YTD prior to the Tuesday morning sell-off. Names that move like that tend to reverse hard on any wobble in confidence. <\/p>\n
Fundamentals Still Look Strong <\/h2>\n
The fundamentals remain solid across the group. SanDisk’s most recent Q3 FY2026 report showed revenue of $5.95 billion against a $4.73 billion consensus, with the Datacenter segment up 645% year over year (YoY) and gross margin expanding to 78%. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
