On September 29, SK hynix rose 3.06% in regular trading, trading at approximately $187.48/share, with turnover of $6.08 billion. The rebound came after the stock had fallen 3.59% in the prior session on concerns over subsidiary Solidigm's planned U.S. IPO.
On the news front, market estimates now project SK hynix's third-quarter operating profit at approximately 70 trillion Korean won, which would mark the second consecutive quarter of record-breaking earnings. Analyst firm DS Investment lowered its target price from 3.1 million KRW to 2.64 million KRW but maintained its Buy rating, reflecting continued confidence in the company's fundamental outlook despite near-term valuation adjustments.
The broader memory semiconductor sector also saw broad-based strength, with institutional research noting that rising AI accelerator shipments are driving demand for memory chips, optical modules, and related components. Analysts suggest that the emergence of AI agents could further tighten CPU and memory supply, potentially extending the current upcycle for memory manufacturers.
SK hynix is one of the world's largest memory semiconductor companies, engaged in the design, manufacturing, and sales of advanced memory products used across data center servers, smartphones, and consumer electronics.
