In the wake of Nvidia 's launch of powerful new artificial intelligence chips, Goldman Sachs is predicting major growth for memory chips used in AI systems. Called Blackwell, the new GPU chips from Nvidia that power AI models require the latest third-generation memory chips, also known as high-bandwidth memory (HBM/HBM3E). The investment bank expects the total addressable market for HBM to expand tenfold to $23 billion by 2026, up from just $2.3 billion in 2022. The Wall Street bank sees three major memory makers as prime beneficiaries of the booming HBM market: SK Hynix , Samsung Electronics and Micron . Investors have been cautious about the memory market for AI systems since all three major suppliers are due to expand manufacturing capacity and add downward pressure on profit margins.

Sales from June 1-27 were up 10% from a year earlier, a good sign for the start of H&M's third quarter. The womenswear collection drove the boost in sales, Helmersson told a news conference. Shares in the world's second-biggest fashion retailer jumped 11% to hit their highest level since February 2022. The stronger-than-expected profit and inventory position helped investors digest a weaker margin of 8.2% for the second quarter, down from 9.2% a year earlier. H&M last year announced layoffs and other cost cuts that it said would help it reduce costs from the second half of 2023 onwards.
