Meet the Company Supplying 56% of the World's AI Memory Chips
Yahoo Finance ·
The artificial intelligence tailwind has transformed the trajectories of companies in the tech sector, including Micron Technology . AI's need for enormous computational power has produced unprecedented demand for advanced memory chips, Micron's forte. Consequently, its business benefited, and so did its stock price, as shares skyrocketed more than 600% over the past 12 months through July 15. Given this backdrop, it was inevitable that competitors would court U.S. investors. That's exactly what South Korean memory giant SK Hynix ( SKHY 13.69% ) did when it began offering American depositary shares (ADS) at $149 per share on July 10. It became the largest listing ever by a non-American company -- a sign of the extraordinary appetite for memory chip stocks among U.S. investors. Is SK Hynix bound to follow Micron's spectacular stock rise? Here's a deeper look into the company to assess whether now is the time to invest in the Korean manufacturer. SK Hynix produces high-bandwidth memory (HBM) products that enable fast data processing speeds. This is an essential capability for artificial intelligence systems that must churn through mountains of data quickly to execute tasks.
