SK hynix has decided to halt its review of a potential U.S. initial public offering (IPO) and pre-IPO fundraising for Solidigm, its U.S.-based NAND flash subsidiary, citing volatile capital markets and recent trends in semiconductor stock prices. The decision was announced on Friday, October 23, 2026, with the company stating that given recent financial market volatility, it would be difficult to achieve the expected benefits from the IPO. Yonhap reports that SK hynix said it had been reviewing the IPO with shareholder value as a top priority but concluded the timing was not favorable. Business Korea notes the halt comes amid concerns from shareholders and unstable capital market conditions.
