SK Hynix is trading 5% down at $1040 after investors reacted negatively to its August 7 approval of roughly $38 billion for two new South Korean memory fabs.

  • Reports attributed the decline to the spending scale and delayed shareholder-return update, despite strong AI-memory demand.
  • The market was broadly firm, so the move appears company-specific rather than macro-driven.
  • Trading is closed; no volume data was provided.
