On August 12, SK hynix rose 3.16% in pre-market trading, trading at $146.1/share, with turnover of $14.2256 million.

On the news front, Singapore sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings reportedly approached South Korean counterparts regarding potential investments in Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, igniting bullish sentiment. During the Korean trading session, SK hynix surged as much as 8.1% to 154.1 million won. Simultaneously, SK hynix's NAND subsidiary Solidigm restarted construction of its second NAND flash factory in Dalian, China, in the first half of this year. The new production line targets monthly capacity of approximately 50,000 wafers, bringing total local NAND capacity to roughly 150,000 wafers per month — a 50% increase. Equipment installation is scheduled to begin as early as November, with mass production targeted for H1 next year.

The expansion is driven by surging enterprise SSD demand from AI data center buildouts, with NAND prices having risen nearly tenfold over the past year. SK hynix also announced last week that it will disclose shareholder return plan details in Q3, further supporting investor confidence.
