SK Hynix's highly anticipated U.S. stock market debut is off to a strong start, with demand for the South Korean memory chipmaker's $28 billion American depositary receipt (ADR) offering reportedly exceeding available shares by more than seven times.
The offering, which is expected to become the world's second-largest share sale after SpaceX's record $85.7 billion initial public offering last month, is designed to help SK Hynix finance new semiconductor manufacturing facilities and equipment as global demand for AI memory chips continues to outpace supply.
