「IPv6になぜ移行しない」海外の掲示板でエンジニアが激論に【海外の反応】「最近何を壊した？」海外掲示板の質問スレ、猫の心を折った話に反響The story
On August 27, 2026, Kioxia Holdings published a document titled “Regarding Certain Media Reports.” The statement appears to be a response to an earlier Nikkei report about construction of a new plant in Iwate Prefecture (with investment topping ¥1 trillion). On 5ch, commenters noted this fits the familiar “template” pattern where reports leak ahead of official announcements and still turn out accurate, worried about disciplinary action against the employee behind the leak, and reacted to the stock price surging after the announcement.

If you want a stable life,
just buy variable-rate 10-year Japanese government savings bonds.
Behind every smug flex post on social media there's a pile of people who got wiped out — and somewhere out there, a train is stopped again today (a dark dig at stock-loss suicides that delay trains)

Interest rates are high on things like this, so they shouldn't build it with debt. Do a public share offering — at least ¥5 trillion, maybe max it out around ¥25 trillion.

Nikkei reports it → company says "not an official announcement" → officially announced later.
Seen this exact pattern so many times lol

Building factories left and right is fine, but not on debt
Fund the whole thing through share offerings
Kioxia at ¥50,000 a share isn't a sane valuation to begin with, so it'd be way better to raise something like ¥25 trillion via public offering and sit on a pile of cash that lets them do anything.
Heck, they could even use that cash to go make acquisitions

They still have the technological edge, so all that's left is ramping up production capacity.

Kioxia's memory cards were great —
no lag saving photos,
and cheap on top of it. Good purchase.
