Company management noted that structural memory tightness fueled by AI infrastructure will persist for at least three years. As Q2 kicks off, further upside to memory prices is lifting profit outlooks. Analysts project DRAM and NAND contract prices will climb 50% to over 70% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ). With high-margin product mix, each price hike creates outsized leverage for SK Hynix’s bottom line. The current market consensus pegs Q2 op
