SK Hynix's stock price has surged over 200% this year, approaching the trillion-dollar market value threshold

According to Jinshi Data, just weeks after Samsung Electronics' market value surpassed the trillion-dollar mark, SK Hynix is also poised to enter this trillion-dollar market value club. Thanks to strong demand in the artificial intelligence sector, South Korea has become the core area of this round of AI boom in Asia. After achieving an astonishing 274% increase in 2025, SK Hynix's stock price has further soared over 200% this year.

Once SK Hynix follows Samsung in crossing the trillion-dollar market value threshold, South Korea will become the first market outside the United States to have more than two companies with a market value exceeding one trillion dollars. "The current market trend is mainly driven by 'fear of missing out' (FOMO) sentiment, especially among AI-related concept stocks in Japan and South Korea, where this sentiment is particularly evident," said Fabien Yip, a market analyst at Sydney IG Group.
