SK Hynix Plans $29 Billion Nasdaq Listing to Expand AI Chip Production
South Korean semiconductor firm SK Hynix plans to raise approximately $29 billion through an American Depositary Receipts (ADR) listing on Nasdaq, expected to begin trading around July 10. The funds will support expansion of chip production capacity, including new facilities in Yongin and Cheongju, and acquisition of advanced equipment like Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) scanners. This move aims to broaden SK Hynix's investor base and capitalize on rising demand for high-bandwidth memory chips driven by the global AI boom. The listing is among the largest planned share sales and reflects growing investor interest amid increased AI-related chip demand and partnerships with companies like Nvidia.
