SK hynix (SKHY) has emerged as one of the semiconductor industry’s clearest beneficiaries of the artificial-intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom. It ranks among the leading DRAM suppliers and dominates high-bandwidth memory (HBM), a key ingredient in AI accelerators. That positioning has already shown up in the numbers, with Q2 FY2026 revenue soaring 257% year-over-year (YoY).
However, Thursday, Oct. 8, could bring a different kind of catalyst. The lock-up period covering certain shares tied to SK hynix’s Nasdaq ($NASX) listing is scheduled to expire on that date, potentially increasing the amount of stock available for trading and adding to short-term volatility.
