SK Hynix is on the verge of topping a $1 trillion market value, just weeks after Samsung Electronics crossed the milestone, as strong demand for artificial intelligence places South Korea at the heart of Asia's AI boom. SK Hynix shares have risen more than 200% this year, after rising an eye-watering 274% in 2025, driven by AI-related demand for both conventional memory chips and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips used in AI servers. If SK Hynix joins Samsung above the trillion-dollar threshold, South Korea would become the first country outside the United States to have more than one trillion-dollar company.
