SK hynix posts record revenue and profit, driven by AI memory demand and strong balance sheet.

SK hynix Inc. received a Buy rating due to its record-breaking revenue growth of 257% year-over-year and a high operating margin of 76% in Q2 2026.

Its net cash position of KRW 69.4 trillion supports disciplined investment without relying on speculative partnerships like those with Intel.
