SK hynix reported a record third-quarter operating profit of 83.33 trillion won ($62.8 billion) and quarterly revenue of 104.6 trillion won ($75.25 billion), its sixth consecutive quarter of record earnings, driven by AI semiconductor demand. The company also announced a 100 trillion won ($75 billion) shareholder return plan for this year, including an additional 60 trillion won ($44.7 billion), to address the gap between its share price and earnings. Yonhap reports SK hynix has already contracted half of its production capacity for the next two years, pushing back against concerns about an AI peak.
