Morgan Stanley reports that Nvidia and Broadcom are insulated from the US data-center power shortage impacting chip supply chains, but memory, optical, and power-management chip makers face risks of order delays or cancellations due to a 34% net power shortfall through 2028.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 4 sources have reported it between 5 Oct 2026 and 9 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The US data-center power shortage is setting a limit on chip deployment beyond Nvidia and Broadcom. If you work in memory or optical chip supply, expect order volatility and plan inventory carefully.
