SK Hynix shares sink 10.84% after Q2 operating profit misses estimates and no new guidance
AI Market Summary
SK Hynix posted record Q2 results but missed operating-profit expectations, then worsened sentiment by offering no new shareholder-return policy and no forward guidance. The resulting ~11% selloff spilled into Korea's broader semiconductor complex, dragging Samsung as well. Despite strong AI-memory demand and HBM4 ramp commentary, the market focused on reduced near-term visibility into margins, capital allocation, and customer contracting.
