SK hynix regained the 200,000 won mark on the stock market after three trading days.

SK hynix shares were traded at 200,250 won on the KOSPI market at 9:15 a.m. on the 2nd. The share price rose 1.65% (3,250 won) from the previous day.

SK hynix lost the 200,000 won mark on the 28th of last month as the market was shaken by concerns over tariffs from the Donald Trump administration and the resumption of short selling.

Uncertainty remains, but securities firms maintain an optimistic outlook on SK hynix. This is because SK hynix is solidifying its lead in the high bandwidth memory (HBM) sector, a key semiconductor for artificial intelligence (AI).

Ryu Myung-ho, a researcher at NH Investment & Securities, noted, "SK hynix has clearly demonstrated that it can maintain higher profitability than competitors through high-value-added products during a short semiconductor downturn cycle." Noh Geun-chang of Hyundai Motor Securities also stated, "The momentum for SK hynix's HBM is expected to continue until 2027."
