### Session Tape - SK Hynix (SKHY): Surged following strong quarterly results.
## Catalyst Analysis: Memory Expansion and HBM Leadership SK Hynix delivered exceptional financial performance, highlighted by a 328% year-over-year surge in revenue to 104.62 trillion won and a 632% jump in operating profit to 83.33 trillion won. Gross margins expanded to 86% from 57% a year prior, while operating margins climbed from 47% to 80%. Sequential volume growth of 10% in DRAM further reinforced the company's operational strength.
As the HBM market leader commanding roughly 50% market share and serving as a lead supplier to Nvidia, SK Hynix benefits from robust structural demand. Management noted that HBM4 prices are set to rise alongside improving mass production yields, with production capacity effectively sold out through 2029.
