SK hynix reported record Q3 results, with operating profit of 83.33 trillion won ($62.8 billion) and revenue of 104.6 trillion won, its first quarter above 100 trillion won, marking a sixth consecutive record quarter. The company said DRAM and HBM production is essentially sold out through 2029, countering AI peak concerns, and announced a 100 trillion won shareholder return plan. Yonhap reports the company also noted over half of its production capacity for the next two years is under contract. Net profit rose 215.7% to 39.78 trillion won, though investment and FX losses weighed on earnings. Korean media highlight the 80% operating margin and the company's confidence in sustained AI-driven demand, with Donga Ilbo quoting the firm's stance that the AI semiconductor boom will continue long-term.
