A YMTC marquee IPO would deepen China’s domestic capital base for memory and reduce its reliance on foreign equity markets just as supply chains are politicizing. If you depend on NAND pricing or supply, assume a better-capitalized Chinese competitor in your 3–5 year planning and pressure-test your vendor and geo concentration.
