SK hynix keeps Buy rating with strong earnings, sold-out DRAM volumes, and solid cash position.

SK hynix maintains a Buy rating due to robust earnings, record operating margins, and strong long-term demand visibility. Its DRAM and HBM production volumes are effectively sold out through 2029, with long-term agreements securing over half of the 2027-2028 capacity. Despite concerns about rising capital expenditures, SK hynix has a strong balance sheet with net cash of KRW 98.7 trillion and plans to return over 50% of free cash flow to shareholders. The stock trades at an attractive forward P/E of 6.13x, supported by management's commitment to shareholder returns.

SK hynix shares are trading at USD 149.23 on Pluang as of Oct 31, 2026, 17:31 WIB, down 7.93% for the day and closer to their 52-week low of USD 126.79 than the high of USD 198.63. Despite the sell-off with 77% of orders to sell, the stock maintains a market cap of $746.23 billion and a low dividend yield of 0.07%, highlighting a contrast between current price weakness and the company’s strong long-term outlook noted in the news.
