SK Hynix is trading 8.8% down today at KRW 1,567,000 as investors aggressively take profits following last week’s record run in Korean memory-chip stocks.

  • The decline aligns with a broader semiconductor pullback and a 3% drop in the DRAM memory sector.
  • Selling pressure is driven by concerns regarding the sustainability of AI-related spending, despite strong underlying fundamentals and pricing.
