SK Hynix shares fall, dragging the entire chip industry lower

CoinWix News: SK Hynix’s shares fell 6% on Monday, triggering a broader pullback across the chip sector. Investors chose to take profits as they worried the market was overheated, and SK Hynix’s stock price dropped 15% in Asian markets. A brokerage report from South Korea showed that SK Hynix’s operating profit this quarter may be lower than expected, putting pressure on market sentiment. Rival Samsung Electronics’ shares also fell. In the US, AI memory stocks Micron, SanDisk, and Western Digital all dropped by about 5%. In addition, chip stocks Intel, AMD, Broadcom, and Arm Holdings also fell by around 2% along with the broader market. This decline in the semiconductor sector came after SK Hynix was listed on the US market last Friday, when its US depositary receipts rose nearly 13% on their first day of trading. In this listing, the company raised $26.5 billion, becoming the largest IPO in the US by a foreign company. Semiconductor stocks have been a key driver of this year’s earnings growth, lifting the overall stock market.

Is it a signal that the semiconductor cycle has topped, or is it simply that there’s too much profit-taking selling pressure?

Intel and AMD’s old-line chip stocks only fell 2%, so that’s pretty resilient.

Up 13% right after listing, now down 6%—what a roller coaster ride this is.

SK Hynix is dropping quite sharply this round—Asia is down 15% directly.

The moment a Korean brokerage report came out, the downside from cutting profit expectations was so powerful.
