The company has a share buyback program in place. We will see how many shares they have actually repurchased when they announce earnings on 4/27. I hope they've picked up a LOT!

[World DRAM Price] Spot Prices for 128Mb DRAMs Decline for PCs, Rise for Non-PC Use April 26, 2000 (TOKYO) -- The spot prices for 128Mb DRAM chips dropped in three regions, but not all spot prices for DRAM chips have fallen. Spot prices for DRAM chips, such as 16Mb and 64Mb EDO DRAM chips, which are used for devices other than personal computers, have been on the rise. According to a worldwide DRAM price survey conducted by ICIS-LOR, which has footholds in London, Houston and Singapore, the rolling average prices of 128Mb DRAMs (PC133, 16M x 8) for large-lot users for the 30 days between March 9 and April 7 was US$14.20 in North America, US$12.62 in Europe and US$13.50 in Asia. Compared to the previous week (30-day rolling average price up to March 31), they fell by 4.95 percent in Europe, and those in North America and Asia remained unchanged. As for prices of memory modules, the spot prices for 128MB dual inline memory modules (DIMMs, PC133) rose by 0.96 percent to US$89.13 in North America, and fell by 1.84 percent to US$95.91 in Europe and were down by 1.04 percent to US$90.48 in Asia. The excessive production of DRAM chips for personal computers by major DRAM chip makers resulted in an oversupply, leading to the falling prices for DRAM chips, including those for 128Mb DRAM chips, for personal computers. Japanese makers, which supply DRAM chips mainly for markets other than the personal computers, lack production capacity, leading to a rise in prices for DRAM chips for devices other than personal computers. nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com
