  • Hyperscalers Face AI Hardware Bottlenecks Amid Soaring Memory Chip Prices
    June 21, 2026, 3:43 PM EDT.

While memory chip stocks rallied 41% over one month, hyperscaler stocks lagged, with Meta down 12.55% year-to-date due to its consumer ad revenue model and lack of cloud services business. Capital expenditure costs have ballooned, impacting earnings and stock performance. The shortage persists as new chip fabrication plants and capital equipment from Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA Corp cannot scale quickly enough.
