SK Hynix shares jumped 8% in Seoul trading on Wednesday, leading a broad advance across Asian technology equities.
The move extends a powerful rally for the memory chipmaker, which has seen its valuation reprice sharply higher in recent weeks.
The surge comes despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding potential trade restrictions from the US administration.
Investors appear to be discounting geopolitical risks in favor of strong fundamental momentum, particularly after SK Hynix’s landmark capital raise in the United States earlier in the week.
The successful financing event signaled robust institutional confidence in the company’s growth trajectory, particularly in the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) segment critical for AI infrastructure.
Broader Asian markets followed suit, with South Korea’s Kospi index posting significant gains.
