The Seoul-based company is due to provide first-quarter earnings guidance on Friday, two weeks after it delivered a rare profit warning.

One reason is the oligopoly. Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron now account for nearly all the so-called dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips used in PCs, servers and smartphones. And the trio – down from over 10 competitors a decade ago – is moving quickly to curb production and cut capital spending.
