Fab utilization rates for advanced logic are tracking in the mid-80% range, mainstream low-80s, DRAM high-80s, and NAND low-80s, indicating strong broad-based industry demand. — High utilization rates across logic and memory suggest strong demand for foundry services and memory products, potentially easing concerns about oversupply.

"We've seen broad-based improvement in fab utilization across the industry. Advanced logic is now tracking to the mid-80% range, while mainstream logic is in the low 80s."

The company flagged approximately $20 million of upward pressure from logistics and energy costs, but has implemented a mitigation playbook including targeted pricing actions, seeing no near-term risk to supply or output. — While this is a modest cost increase for Qnity, it signals broader inflationary pressures in logistics and energy that could impact other companies with similar exposure.

"The modest upward pressure we flagged earlier in the year of approximately $20 million is largely playing out as we expected, and the mitigation playbook we put in place... is doing its job."
