Sourcengine reports stabilising Q4 market, low prices and declining lead-times
SourceEngine’s lead time report says that markets stabilised in Q4 thanks to memory production but low consumer demand kept prices low and lead times declining.
The exception was for components used in AI applications where demand spikes caused shortages for HBM and SSDs.
It is expected that prices will stay low throughout H1.
