SK Hynix is a South Korean memory chip manufacturer that has become the global leader in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI applications, capitalizing on the industry's shift toward AI-driven demand. The company is expanding aggressively, having raised $26.5 billion through a U.S. IPO to fund its first American manufacturing facility and recently surpassed Samsung Electronics in market value.
