Morgan Stanley points out that PC shipments are declining sharply, lowering its 2026 PC shipment forecast to a 14% year-on-year decline and its 2027 forecast to an 11% year-on-year decline. Morgan Stanley stated that despite a better-than-expected first half, signs of deteriorating demand in the PC market have been observed for several weeks. Since the summer, there have been reports of increased PC channel inventory; channel surveys show that some channel partners have limited restocking as average selling prices (ASPs) climbed to record highs due to concerns about demand elasticity. In August, overall notebook ODM production fell by 35% year-on-year, with some PC ODMs experiencing declines exceeding 40%. Recently, we have also found that major PC OEMs have (again) reduced their 2026 PC shipment forecasts to ODMs due to slowing demand. All these signals were finally reflected in IDC's recent preliminary Q3 PC shipment data: shipments declined by 21% year-over-year, a significant increase from the 1% drop in the first half of the year, and the largest quarterly decline in PC shipments since the pandemic. Overall, demand for Windows 11 upgrades and the early release of commercial demand have slowed sharply, consumer demand is weaker, supply chain shortages appear to be worsening, and with PC prices expected to continue rising, we believe the year-over-year decline in PC shipments will widen further in Q4. We now forecast a 14% year-over-year decline in PC shipments in 2026 and an 11% year-over-year decline in 2027, 7 percentage points lower than the market consensus. This makes us more cautious about the entire PC supply chain, and we list HP (41% downside) and Acer (25% downside) as the most confident low-end targets among global PC OEMs.
