    Micron CEO said they expected industry supply to improve gradually in 2028, but couldn’t predict when supply would catch up with demand.

    Why would they want balanced supply and demand? Scarcity affords them a higher margin for the same output. With so few competitors there currently seems to be little reason for them to try and meet demand.
