The nosedive helped send South Korea's Kospi almost 9% lower, which triggered a 20-minute halt in trading. Rival Samsung Electronics's stock also slumped.

Samsung Electronics aims to bring forward operation of its chip fabrication site in the city of Yongin, south of Seoul, to 2029 from 2030-2031, as the chipmaker seeks to keep up with surging demand for memory chips used in AI infrastructure, a source told Reuters on Monday.

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.

The which hit its latest all time high in early June, slipped into negative territory for the past month on Tuesday, led to the downside by the ongoing slump in tech stocks that have led the market for much of the past four years.
S&P 500 companies are expected to report 23.3% earnings growth for Q2, the second straight quarter above 20% and far above the average growth rate of 16.4% over the past five years, according to FactSet. The key question for markets, according to famed investment strategist Ed Yardeni, is whether analysts got carried away after Q1 earnings and set the bar too high. "The big risk up ahead is that technology companies, especially the hyperscalers, won't beat analysts' overly optimistic earnings growth estimates for the quarter," Yardeni wrote in Monday note.
