SK Square is trading 4.85% up at KRW 1,210,000 after investors extended the rally following its August 14 record earnings report, powered by SK hynix’s strong performance and equity-method gains.

  • SK Square is launching a KRW 100 billion joint investment vehicle with SK hynix and partners to pursue overseas chip-component and equipment acquisitions, reinforcing its AI investment narrative.
  • The move is consistent with the semiconductor-sector rally, though company-specific earnings and investment developments appear to be the stronger catalyst.
