SK Hynix is trading 3.35% up at $171.90 after renewed expectations for potentially 100 trillion won in annual shareholder returns.

  • Existing policy directs 50% of free cash flow from 2025 through 2027 to shareholders.
  • Additional shareholder-return measures are expected in the third quarter.
  • AI infrastructure demand and tight DRAM, NAND, and HBM supply are supporting the broader memory-chip rally.
