About SK hynix Inc.
SK hynix Inc. is a South Korean semiconductor manufacturer and one of the world's largest memory chip makers, alongside Samsung Electronics and Micron. The company produces DRAM (including server, mobile, graphics and consumer DRAM), NAND flash memory, solid-state drives (SSDs), CMOS image sensors, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI accelerators and data centers.
The company traces its origins to Hyundai Electronics, founded in 1983, which was rebranded Hynix Semiconductor in 2001 after spinning off from Hyundai Group. SK Group acquired a controlling stake in 2012, renaming the company SK hynix. In 2021 it acquired Intel's NAND flash memory business for approximately $9 billion.
SK hynix has become a key HBM supplier for NVIDIA's AI GPU platforms, supplying HBM3E for Hopper/Blackwell-generation chips and developing HBM4 for NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform, with shipments slated to begin in the second half of 2026. In July 2026, NVIDIA and SK Group announced an expanded multi-year strategic partnership covering AI data centers and long-term memory supply.
SK hynix's shares trade on the Korea Exchange (KRX: 000660), and in July 2026 the company completed a large American Depositary Share listing on the Nasdaq under the ticker SKHY.
