SK Hynix has officially launched its American depositary receipts on the Nasdaq, marking a pivotal moment for the South Korean memory chipmaker and U.S. investors alike.
The stock begins trading under the ticker symbol SKHYV, with a secondary ticker SKHY also active, providing a direct conduit for American capital into one of the world’s most critical semiconductor suppliers.
The listing grants Wall Street immediate access to a company that has become indispensable to the artificial intelligence infrastructure build-out.
SK Hynix is a primary supplier of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to Nvidia, the dominant force in AI accelerators, and also serves major clients such as Apple.
This direct listing removes the friction of cross-border investing, allowing U.S. institutional and retail investors to adjust their semiconductor exposure more fluidly.
The move follows a massive capital raise that positioned SK Hynix as one of the largest technology initial public offerings in recent history.
