SK Hynix shares fell 4% ahead of its Q3 2026 earnings report due to concerns over currency effects and higher worker bonuses, despite strong demand for memory chips driven by AI and tight supply conditions. Micron Technology's recent results showed sustained demand and constrained supply, supporting pricing, while SK Hynix faces risks from a stronger Korean won and bonus provisions that may reduce reported earnings. Goldman Sachs expects a mechanical inflow into SK Hynix shares as Samsung Electronics faces outflows from fund rebalancing, potentially supporting SK Hynix stock amid the cautious sentiment. Investors are advised to watch SK Hynix's upcoming earnings and Samsung's preliminary report for clearer market direction.
