South Korea's SK Hynix is nearing the $1 trillion market cap milestone following a surge in demand for memory devices used in artificial intelligence systems. In recent months, the company's shares have risen by more than 200%, a logical continuation of the 274% growth rate seen in 2025. This is reported by Ixbt.com .
Just 16 months ago, the company's total value was less than $100 billion. The primary driver of this growth is the development of AI infrastructure and the high demand for high-speed HBM memory used in training and operating neural networks.
Additionally, the global expansion of data centers has increased the need for traditional DRAM memory. This situation has positively impacted SK Hynix's financial performance, making it one of the leading players in the global technology market.
Previously, Samsung Electronics reached the $1 trillion milestone. Now, South Korea could become the first country outside the U.S. to have two companies reach this level. For comparison, Taiwan's TSMC, considered the most valuable company in Asia, is currently valued at over $1.8 trillion.
