SK Hynix Q2 Pre-Tax Profit Forecast Surges Past 100 Trillion Won

Meritz Securities projects SK Hynix Q2 pre-tax profit exceeds 100 trillion won, driven by 4.16 trillion won Kioxia investment gains and rising memory chip prices.

Woofun AI reports that Meritz Securities analyst Kim Sun-woo estimates SK Hynix will report pre-tax profits exceeding 100 trillion Korean won for the second quarter. This figure includes an operating profit of 6.01 trillion Korean won and a 4.16 trillion Korean won investment gain from Kioxia shares held via Bain Capital, surpassing the first-quarter operating profit record of 5.88 trillion Korean won. The analyst attributes this performance to a 30% increase in DRAM prices and a 49% rise in NAND memory chip prices during the period. SK Hynix is scheduled to release its second-quarter 2026 earnings report on July 29, 2026.
