H2 2022 was a brutal half year for memory. H1 2023 doesn't look any better.
We anticipate a trough in Q1 2023, sequentially flat Q2 followed by modestly increasing revenues through H2.
Micron's upcoming earnings on March 28 will be the next significant data point regarding the state of the memory segment.

Semiconductor revenues through January are behaving as Objective Analysis predicted in October
There has been a slight delay in the collapse, but overall, the collapse is very nearly following its predicted course.
Large memory makers will be the hardest hit, followed by processor vendors


Semiconductor Collapse Is Following Predicted Course

<ul>
<li>Semiconductor memories, the most volatile part of the chip market, have declined dramatically since June</li>
<li>During downturns memory chip prices typically collapse until they hit cost</li>
<li>NAND appears to be selling at or near cost, but DRAM still has room for further declines</li>
