#SKHynixRecordMiss #SKHynixRecordMiss SK Hynix posted its most profitable quarter ever July 28-29 — ₩60.54T operating profit (+557% YoY, 76% margin), ₩79.32T revenue (+257% YoY) — yet the stock crashed 14.65-15.58% on the print, hitting a new ADR low, because results still missed analyst consensus (~₩64T expected) by roughly 5-6%. Three shocks converged the same week: China's CXMT posted a huge Shanghai IPO surge, Nvidia's reported $250B OpenAI financing deal raised questions about circular AI spending, and news of Chinese DUV lithography self-sufficiency progress spooked investors about accelerating Chinese chip competition. KOSPI fell 10.84% the same session — its worst day in over four months — dragging Samsung down 13.4% and Micron 8.95% in sympathy. SK Hynix pushed back hard on the "AI peak" narrative: management sees no signs of slowing AI investment, expects DRAM demand up ~25% and NAND ~18% for 2026, and is raising capex to the high end of its ₩40T guidance range. The bulls-vs-bears divide now hinges on whether this miss is a timing quirk (HBM contract revenue recognition) or the first real crack in AI memory demand — SK Hynix argues the former, markets aren't yet convinced.
