SK Hynix officially kicked off its roadshow for its US stock listing this Monday, aiming to capitalize on sustained investor enthusiasm for the memory chip sector to advance its US listing. According to regulatory filings, SK Hynix plans to offer American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) representing approximately 17.79 million common shares. Based on last Friday’s closing price in the South Korean market, the offering is valued at around $28 billion. As a leading supplier of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) chips, SK Hynix’s US listing will open up an efficient financing channel for the company. Per previously disclosed regulatory documents, SK Hynix expects its ADRs to start trading on July 10 (this Friday). Based on the current proposed offering size, this ADR issuance will rank among the top three largest IPOs in history (the exact amount depends on exchange rates), and is expected to rival Saudi Aramco’s $29.4 billion IPO in 2019.

As internal rotation within the U.S. stock AI sector intensifies, Morgan Stanley and UBS have offered divergent views on the next phase of AI investment trends. Morgan Stanley believes capital is shifting from the previously sharply rallying semiconductor sector to large-scale cloud service providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. The AI rally is not over; instead, it has entered a sector rotation phase. UBS, by contrast, is more optimistic about the long-term value creation capacity of AI infrastructure. Its Holt team projects that the profitability of memory chip firms including Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron will continue to improve. The economic profit of the AI infrastructure sector is expected to surge from around $200 billion in 2023 to $1.4 trillion in 2027, a roughly 600% increase, while the economic profit of large cloud service providers is forecast to reach only around $400 billion over the same period. UBS contends that the memory chip industry is transitioning from a traditional cyclical sector to one of the most important value creators in the AI industrial chain.
