Wall Street is preparing for a historic arrival. South Korean semiconductor giant SK Hynix is officially set to debut on the Nasdaq on July 10 via an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) listing under the ticker SKHY.

Valued at roughly $28 billion, the blockbuster offering is already more than seven times oversubscribed, drawing an immense $171.5 billion in total orders. Anchor backing includes $7 billion in indications of interest from cornerstone heavyweights like Baillie Gifford and Coatue Management. The company is offering 17.79 million new common shares structured as 177.9 million ADRs, with each ADR representing 0.1 common shares at a reference price of 242,500 won (~$166).

The massive capital proceeds will fund aggressive semiconductor fabrication plant expansions—including the massive Yongin semiconductor cluster in South Korea—and cutting-edge ASML Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tools. This infrastructure push directly feeds AI memory chip capacity growth.

Eclipsing Alibaba's $25 billion NYSE debut in 2014, the transaction ranks as the largest foreign ADR listing in U.S. history and trails only SpaceX's record $85.7 billion offering as the second-largest stock sale globally this year. As the global High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) king controlling roughly 60% of the market and serving as a vital Nvidia supplier, SK Hynix's U.S. listing finally gives American institutions direct, liquid dollar exposure—a massive step toward narrowing its structural valuation gap with local peers like Micron.
