SK Hynix Posts 79.3 Trillion Won Q2 Revenue as It Commands 56.4% of HBM Market

Summary
79.3 trillion won in second-quarter revenue and 60.54 trillion won in operating profit underscored SK Hynix's strong quarter, with management citing sharp quarter-on-quarter price gains in both DRAM and NAND.
AI-driven demand for HBM, AI-server DRAM and enterprise SSDs powered that performance as hyperscalers expanded training clusters, inference deployments and data centers, tightening memory supply and lifting average selling prices.
56.4% of the HBM market in Q1 2026 put SK Hynix in the lead in the memory segment most tied to AI accelerators, while it also ranked behind only Samsung in DRAM and NAND revenue share.
That positioning makes SK Hynix more central to the AI memory build-out than U.S. rivals Micron and Sandisk, whose exposure to the same boom has also fueled sharp stock gains.
