SK hynix shares closed over 2% higher in Seoul on July 14, 2026. The stock erased an intraday plunge of 9% during the volatile session. This recovery followed a record 15.37% drop on the previous day, the steepest in company history.

The price swings occurred days after the company’s debut on the Nasdaq. Analysts attribute the turmoil to profit-taking and valuation concerns following the U.S. listing. Broader fragility in the AI-related market also drove the fluctuations.

Foreign investors acted as net buyers during the session. Local retail investors engaged in heavy selling.
