Earlier this month, Samsung Electronics' market capitalization surpassed the $1 trillion mark. Just two weeks later, South Korean memory giant SK Hynix is also approaching this milestone. Against the backdrop of a surge in global demand for artificial intelligence, South Korea has become the core region for AI development in Asia. As of May 14, SK Hynix's market capitalization stood at approximately $931.7 billion, and it could break the $1 trillion mark with an increase of just over 7%. Since the beginning of this year, its stock price has risen by nearly 190%, and it has surged by 274% in 2025, primarily driven by the soaring demand for traditional memory chips and HBM chips used in AI servers.
