SK Hynix Cancels Solidigm's $10 Billion US IPO Amid Regulatory and Market Challenges
SK Hynix has canceled plans for a $10 billion US IPO of its Solidigm unit, citing regulatory opposition in South Korea and challenging capital market conditions. The decision follows concerns over potential dilution of minority shareholders and complications in SK Group's ownership structure. Solidigm, a major flash memory maker based in the US, joins other firms withdrawing IPOs amid market uncertainty and skepticism about the AI sector's growth. SK Hynix's shares have declined significantly since June due to demand worries and dilution fears.
