The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

As assumptions underlying its third-quarter forecast, the company cited strong demand for 300mm silicon wafers for AI-related advanced logic and DRAM, demand for NAND driven by the expansion of server SSDs, optimization of customer wafer inventories, and a gradual recovery in demand for wafers of 200mm or smaller. It also expressed concern that the situation in the Middle East could affect procurement costs for electricity, materials and other items.
