AI Server Demand Lifts Taiyo Yuden Book-to-Bill Ratio to Post-Pandemic Highs TrendForce reports that accelerating upgrades to AI server platforms and growth in custom ASICs have pushed book-to-bill ratios for high-end MLCCs at Taiyo Yuden, Murata and Samsung Electro-Mechanics to their highest levels since the COVID-19 period as of late June 2026. This comes with a risk of supply shortages in the second half of 2026 as capacity is heavily tied up with AI-related orders.
The research flags potential constraints on Taiyo Yuden’s ability to meet demand and highlights a possible impact on order allocation and pricing power if shortages emerge while AI customers continue to secure capacity in advance.
Taiyo Yuden’s shares last traded at ¥18,385, with the stock up about 400.5% year to date, reflecting very strong recent momentum despite a 10.6% decline on the day.
Tightening high-end MLCC supply tied to AI builds could become a key swing factor for Taiyo Yuden, affecting both its volume visibility and the balance of negotiating power with large customers. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jul 02

TAYO YUDEN Commercializes 1005M-Size Embeddable Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor with 22-mF Capacitance for AI Servers TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has commercialized and begun mass production of embeddable multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) that achieves a capacitance of 22-mF in a 1005M size (1.0 x 0.5 mm). This ceramic capacitor is an MLCC designed for decoupling applications on IC power lines used in AI servers and other types of information devices. components embedded in a board require high precision in terms of flatness of the external electrodes for connection to the circuit. With respect to this requirement, TAIYO YUDEN has commercialized an embeddable MLCC that achieves a 22-mF capacitance in a 1005M size by enhancing external electrode formation technology and other element technologies. Mass production of the capacitor began at Tamamura Plant (Sawa District, Gunma Prefecture) in August 2025. Samples are available for JPYO YUDEN per unit. AI servers and other types of devices with advanced information processing capabilities are equipped with ICs that consume extremely large amounts of power. For decoupling purposes in such power supply circuits, small, high-capacity MLCCs are required to handle large currents. Additionally, to minimize circuit loss and noise, it is important to route the power supply circuit close to the ICs. Traditional power supply circuits are routed around ICs. But, technological developments are progressing, allowing them to be placed closer, such as on the back of the board or directly under the ICs. Thus, embeddable MLCCs need to be equipped with high-precision external electrodes to connect to the lines. To satisfy this need, TAIYO YudEN has improved its external electrode formation technology and commercialized 1005M-size embeddable MLCC with a capacitance of 22 mF.
