KIOXIA is trading at ¥46,490, down -4.62%, after weakness across Japanese and South Korean memory-chip stocks triggered selling.

  • Profit-taking and contagion from SanDisk and Western Digital pressured the sector following disappointing guidance.
  • Japanese equities were only modestly lower, making the broader market a limited driver.
  • The decline extends KIOXIA’s recent volatility after its strong earnings-driven rally.
