SK Hynix is trading 5.9% up at €1025.00 following the announcement of the first open High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) standard, a new AI-focused memory tier developed in partnership with SanDisk.
- The HBF standard is designed to bridge the performance gap between DRAM (HBM) and NAND, specifically targeting AI-driven data processing requirements.
- The rally extends the stock's recovery from the early-August KOSPI semiconductor selloff, supported by bullish analyst sentiment regarding an AI memory supercycle.
- Broader sector strength in DRAM and AI-related memory stocks is further amplifying the upward momentum.
