The text states that "The reason the headline still matters is the supply backdrop. memory supply is tight, management does not expect the market to rebalance soon, and the memory shortage is the entire bull case" and notes that "a strike that becomes a profit-sharing precedent across 15,000 Taiwan employees is a margin question".
