Investing.com -- High-bandwidth memory (HBM) pricing is on track to more than double by 2027, driven by a perfect storm of soaring artificial intelligence demand and structural capacity constraints.

Micron stock was edging down with SK Hynix’s ADRs due to trade Friday on the Nasdaq for the first time

SK Hynix, one of the world's largest makers of memory chips, is hitting the U.S. stock market at a time when demand for its chips is far outpacing its ability to make them thanks to the frenzy over artificial intelligence. The company is already one of the largest in South Korea, along with Samsung Electronics, and is traded publicly on Seoul's Kospi index. SK Hynix priced its American depositary receipts, or ADRs, at $149 each Thursday.

When South Korean billionaire Chey Tae-won attends a bell-ringing ceremony on Friday for SK Hynix's $26.5 billion Nasdaq listing, it will mark the ultimate payoff of a bet many once considered risky: buying a loss-making chipmaker that has since become an AI powerhouse. SK ‌Group's 2012 acquisition of Hynix was viewed as problematic even within the business conglomerate: Memory chips are cyclical and capital-intensive, and the company was losing money ‌while trailing Samsung Electronics in market share and technology. But under Chey, seeking an edge over Samsung, SK Hynix has spent more than a decade betting on high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, at the time a niche technology.

Your exchange-traded fund is flat. Remember that ETF you tucked away that invests in developed markets outside the U.S.—the one that looked cheap but has lagged behind the S&P 500 forever because it’s loaded with crusty old companies in Europe and Japan? By the way, both of these overseas funds, developed and emerging, beat the S&P 500 by a lot in 2025, too, but that was partly because the value of the dollar tanked last year as the Federal Reserve was cutting interest rates.
