SK Hynix shares hit the daily trading limit in Seoul on Friday, extending a dramatic rebound across South Korean semiconductor stocks.
The memory chip maker’s shares surged to the maximum allowable gain, capping a session where the Kospi led broad regional equity advances.
The move reflects sustained investor enthusiasm for the sector following a period of volatility.
The rally in Seoul tracked sharp overnight gains in US technology stocks, which rebounded after softening macro data fueled hopes for a more accommodative policy environment.
SK Hynix has been a key beneficiary of this sentiment shift, with its shares jumping more than 11.8% in morning trade earlier in the week.
The current session’s limit-up move signals strong buying interest as traders position for continued momentum in the AI and memory chip space.
