\"SKSK Hynix<\/p>\n

SK Group’s combined market capitalization surpassed 1,000 trillion won ($700 billion) for the first time ever. A sharp rally in shares of SK hynix (000660.KS), which is scheduled to report earnings on Oct. 23, served as the key driver lifting the group’s overall market value.<\/p>\n

According to the Korea Exchange, SK Group’s total market capitalization reached 1,027.27 trillion won on Monday. SK hynix alone accounted for 831 trillion won, or more than 80% of the group’s total, representing an overwhelming share.<\/p>\n

SK hynix shares have extended their steep rally ahead of the first-quarter earnings announcement. The stock climbed as high as 1.175 million won during intraday trading, surpassing its previous all-time high of 1.173 million won. SK Square, the group’s intermediate holding company, also rose 2.79% to close at 701,000 won, crossing the 700,000-won mark for the first time. Its market capitalization ranked fifth on the KOSPI.<\/p>\n

The market views earnings expectations as the key factor driving SK hynix’s rally. Analysts project SK hynix’s first-quarter operating profit at 35 trillion to 37 trillion won. While a record quarterly performance appears likely, some analysts have raised the possibility of the figure exceeding 40 trillion won. That would approach the company’s full-year operating profit of 47.21 trillion won in 2024. Amid rising memory prices, some forecasts suggest second-quarter operating profit could reach 61 trillion won or more.<\/p>\n

Brokerages have set target prices ranging from 1.5 million to 1.7 million won, with SK Securities going as high as 2 million won, reflecting further upside potential. “Earnings growth expectations centered on high-bandwidth memory (HBM) remain intact,” said Jung Woo-sung, an analyst at LS Securities. “Mid- to long-term growth potential could be priced in ahead of major supply-demand events such as a U.S. American depositary receipt (ADR) listing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SK Hynix SK Group’s combined market capitalization surpassed 1,000 trillion won ($700 billion) for the first time ever.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[2692,699,2587,335,274,462,241,240,275,676],"class_list":{"0":"post-7494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sk","8":"tag-adr-listing","9":"tag-hbm","10":"tag-high-bandwidth-memory","11":"tag-kospi","12":"tag-market-capitalization","13":"tag-q1-earnings","14":"tag-sk","15":"tag-sk-group","16":"tag-sk-hynix","17":"tag-sk-square"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
