what happened
According to TradingView, SK hynix recorded record revenue and operating profit in the third quarter. Demand for AI-related solutions, higher memory prices and the ramp-up of HBM4 chips drove the results. Tight supply supports expectations for further growth.
The company also plans to return about KRW 100 trillion to shareholders in FY2026.
why it matters
For markets, the scale of the planned returns matters as much as the figures, since large payouts tend to draw investors to SK hynix shares and to Korea's chip sector. Traders will also watch HBM demand and memory pricing closely.
