what happened
According to TradingView, SK hynix booked 104.6155 trillion won in revenue in the third quarter of 2026, passing 100 trillion won for the first time. Operating profit reached 83.3338 trillion won, an operating margin of roughly 80%, while net profit came to 39.7756 trillion won.
The growth was driven by sales of HBM4 and high-value server products. The company expects the memory shortage to last through 2030, and long-term agreements now cover more than 50% of its production capacity for 2027 and 2028.
The board approved a third-quarter cash dividend of 14 trillion won and a share buyback of 20 trillion won. Part of the gains from the Kioxia investment will also go to shareholders.
why it matters
Two points matter for markets: record margins in memory amid demand from AI infrastructure, and the scale of shareholder returns, about 100 trillion won this year. The company also signals a sharp rise in investment next year, which will matter for assessing industry costs.
