Shares of semiconductor company Fadu fell more than 6% during the morning session on the 23rd, dropping into the 45,000-won range. Despite forecasts of price increases in the enterprise solid-state drive (eSSD) market, the stock could not escape weakness.

As of the market, Fadu traded at 45,700 won, down 3,350 won from the previous trading day. This represents a 6.83% decline compared to the previous day's closing price of 49,050 won.

In the memory market, forecasts have been raised that from the fourth quarter of this year through 2027, enterprise SSDs will show the largest price increases exceeding market expectations among major memory application areas. eSSDs are storage devices used in enterprise servers and data centers.

Fadu's main business area is SSD controllers for data centers, making it a company associated with changes in the enterprise SSD market.

However, it is difficult to conclude that the outlook for eSSD price increases will immediately translate into improved performance for Fadu. Storage device prices and controller supply prices are distinct from each other, and actual results may vary depending on customer orders and product supply volumes.

With Fadu's share price falling into the 45,000-won range, the connection between price outlooks in the enterprise SSD market and actual business performance remains a key point to watch going forward.
