Morgan Stanley and Nomura Diverge on AI Chip Outlook for SK hynix and Samsung
Global investment banks Morgan Stanley and Nomura present contrasting forecasts for South Korean chipmakers SK hynix and Samsung Electronics amid the AI-driven memory chip market boom. Morgan Stanley lowered its price targets by 38% for SK hynix and 19% for Samsung, citing risks from rising chip supply and delays in data center construction in 2028. Nomura maintained higher price targets, nearly three times Morgan Stanley's revised figures for SK hynix. Both expect strong earnings in 2024 but differ on long-term profitability beyond 2027.
