Note that this is specific to Germany (or, probably, the EU, but they’re using Germany as a benchmark). German DDR5 prices had started coming back down slightly earlier in the year — I remember articles earlier in the year commenting on that. According to this article, they’re now drifting back up again, albeit slowly.
I don’t know if “explode” is really the right term. The price changes since the initial increase around late 2025 and early 2026 haven’t really been dramatic.
They probably found a price that is just at the point before sales are collapsing entirely and are now calibrating how far they can go but being already at the limit there is no space for a price explosion anymore. … but maybe I am mistaken, who knows.
