Bullish on SK Hynix. HMB is becoming what GPUs were in 2023. A few years ago, many investors thought GPUs were just another semiconductor segment. AI changed that perception completely. HBM may be going through a similar transformation today. Training larger models and running inference at scale require enormous memory bandwidth, and that makes HBM less of a commodity and more of a strategic technology. The company that controls the bottleneck often captures the profits, and right now SK Hynix appears to hold the strongest position. The ADR listing is important because it allows global investors easier access to a company that many previously could only buy through Korean markets or ETFs. Yes, valuation risk exists, and yes, memory remains cyclical, but if AI infrastructure spending remains strong for another three to five years, investors may eventually look back and realize they were still valuing SK Hynix like an old memory company instead of an AI infrastructure leader. @AhGong
Memory Prices Up Over 500% — Does That Still Count as Good News?
Memory rallied Thursday on a line from Intel's CEO: memory prices are up more than 500%. Micron +5.50% to $977.50, SanDisk +6.21% to $1,614.39, SK Hynix +4.64% to $182.99. Intel led them all, +7.67% to $108.80, on a second day of the SK Hynix foundry reports, which several outlets say is still not a deal. Wednesday the foundry rose 4% and memory sat still; Thursday memory caught up. Worth noting who said it. The 500% is a buyer describing what it now pays, not a seller reporting what it now earns. Same sentence, read as a cost complaint and as a bull case. Which is it?
