On October 29, 2026, SK hynix clarified a Maeil Business Newspaper report about a potential investment of approximately ₩60 trillion in a new NAND flash production facility in the United States. The investment was reportedly being considered by Solidigm, SK hynix’s U.S. subsidiary.
In a Form 6-K filing, SK hynix said Solidigm is exploring ways to improve its competitiveness and expand production capacity, but no specific plans had been decided as of that date. The company said it would provide further details when a decision is confirmed or within one month.
The clarification came a day after SK hynix reported third-quarter earnings. Its shares surged following the results.
