Why HSBC Is Bullish On SKHY <\/p>\n
Explaining its bullish outlook on SK Hynix ahead of the Nasdaq listing of its American Depository Receipts (ADRs), HSBC stated that it expects the memory maker’s price-to-book ratio to rise to 3.4 from 2.8 following the listing. <\/p>\n
HSBC said in its note that its outlook for SK Hynix now reflects “more proactive shareholder-friendly initiatives and improved accessibility to global investors.” <\/p>\n
The firm stated that Micron has traded at an average premium of 35% to SK Hynix over the last 13 years due to better access to U.S. investors and a more shareholder-friendly policy. HSBC also cited a higher beta for Micron due to a smaller earnings base as another driver for its relatively premium valuation compared to SK Hynix. <\/p>\n
The firm also hiked its price target for SK Hynix to 4 million Korean won, from 2.9 million, citing the upcoming Nasdaq listing as the catalyst. <\/p>\n
How Much Is SKHY Planning To Raise? <\/p>\n
SK Hynix filed its prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) earlier this week. <\/p>\n
According to a Reuters report, the company plans to raise $29.4 billion from the Nasdaq listing, with its ADRs priced at $166 each. <\/p>\n
SK Hynix intends to use the proceeds from the listing to undertake the construction of production facilities in South Korea. It also plans to acquire Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) scanners used in semiconductor production. <\/p>\n
