Mizuho Cites Supply-Constrained Market For Its Optimism

Mizuho expects tight supply conditions to persist across the AI ecosystem through 2027, providing a tailwind for server manufacturers benefiting from robust infrastructure spending.

While agentic AI is expected to drive another leg of demand growth, the firm warned that limited supplies of memory and CPUs could become a key constraint, restricting upside potential during the second half of 2026.

This comes amid Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang’s latest comments describing agentic AI as a new kind of workload.

“One prompt can launch a thousand-step journey of reasoning, retrieval, tool use and response generation. Vera Rubin was built for this moment — an AI factory engine that delivers intelligence at scale,” Huang said during the ongoing Computex conference in Taiwan.
