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), the first time it has surpassed 100 trillion won in a quarter, driven by AI semiconductor demand. Yonhap reports the company has now set earnings records for six consecutive quarters.
