SK Hynix Records Profits Surge
South Korean company SK Hynix announced record-breaking results in the second quarter of 2026, with net profits reaching $64.6 billion, marking an increase of 1,242.5% compared to last year. The company also recorded operating profits of approximately $41.6 billion and sales of $54.5 billion. These results were driven by strong demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips used in artificial intelligence applications, which boosted its market position and made it the most valuable company in South Korea, surpassing Samsung after 25 years. Despite this outstanding performance, the company's stock experienced its worst decline on the Seoul Stock Exchange, even as the operating profit margin rose to 76%. Analysts expect these results to support the market and ease concerns about the peak of demand for AI chips.
