SK hynix (SKHY) is in the spotlight on Aug. 7 after the memory chipmaker's board approved a $38 billion investment to build new semiconductor fabrication facilities in Yongin and Cheongju. This mega-project will expand SKHY’s production capacity, positioning it strongly to meet the medium-to-long-term demand for High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and advanced NAND flash chips.
Versus its year-to-date high, SK hynix stock is down nearly 30% at the time of writing.
