SK hynix reported record Q3 results on October 28, with operating profit of 83.33 trillion won ($62.8 billion) and revenue of 104.6 trillion won ($75.25 billion), the first time quarterly revenue surpassed 100 trillion won. Operating margin hit 80%, and the company has set records for six consecutive quarters, driven by AI semiconductor demand. SK hynix said DRAM and HBM production is effectively sold out through 2029, with long-term contracts covering over half of production capacity for two years, dismissing 'memory peak-out' concerns. It also announced a 60 trillion won additional shareholder return plan, including a 20,000 won per share dividend, bringing total shareholder returns to 100 trillion won this year. Korean media report the company's confidence in sustained AI-driven memory demand, with Kyunghyang Shinmun noting CEO statements to allay market worries.
