US tariffs prompt Micron to raise prices, boosting Q1 PC sales but clouding future demand.

US tariffs have led Micron Technology to impose a 10% price hike on its DRAM and SSD products, while Samsung has not yet announced price changes. PC shipments rose by 4.9% in Q1 2025, reaching 63.2 million units, largely due to pre-tariff rush orders. However, the ongoing tariff impact and economic uncertainties are expected to slow demand in coming quarters. Micron and other major manufacturers may pass on tariff costs to consumers, potentially affecting PC market growth.
