KIOXIA just posted one of the most extreme earnings prints in memory history. Q2 revenue hit $15.77B, beating estimates and soaring 453% year-over-year, while operating profit reached $12.68B at an 80% margin. Net profit jumped more than 3,200% as generative AI demand drove sharp increases in SSD average selling prices and bit shipments. The strength is real, but the outlook is more cautious. Q3 guidance came in below consensus, with management pointing to a stronger yen as a headwind even as data-center demand stays robust. The company also announced its first dividend since listing and a policy of returning 100% of surplus cash through progressive dividends and flexible buybacks. Despite the numbers, the stock has struggled. In memory, even explosive AI-driven growth is facing a skeptical market right now.
