SK Hynix approaches the one trillion dollar market value threshold

Golden Ten Data reported on May 14 that just weeks after Samsung Electronics' market value surpassed the $1 trillion mark, SK Hynix is also poised to join this $1 trillion market cap club. Thanks to strong demand in the field of artificial intelligence, South Korea has already become the core region of Asia's current AI boom. After achieving a remarkable 274% surge in 2025, SK Hynix's stock price has further soared by over 200% this year. Once SK Hynix follows Samsung in crossing the $1 trillion market cap threshold, South Korea will become the first market outside the United States with more than two companies valued at over $1 trillion. "The current market trend is mainly driven by fear of missing out (FOMO), and this sentiment is especially evident in AI-related concept stocks in Japan and South Korea," said Fabien Yip, a market analyst at IG Group in Sydney.
