SK Square is trading 10.56% up at KRW 1,110,000 after SK hynix’s plans to acquire and retire KRW 40 trillion of treasury shares lifted SK-group shareholder-return expectations.
- It rose with SK hynix and Samsung Electronics as semiconductor shares led Korea’s rebound.
- Reports cited lower U.S. Treasury yields and improved risk appetite.
- No new SK Square announcement was identified for August 20, 2026; the move is attributed with medium confidence to semiconductor strength and positive affiliate read-through.
