The U.S. AI sector is facing a crucial test. Global storage chip leader Micron Technology (MU) is scheduled to release its earnings report after today’s market close. On the eve of the report, its stock price has pulled back more than 13% from recent highs, sparking market concerns over the AI sector’s future trend. Market analysis holds that this correction is not caused by Micron’s own earnings miss, but by the pullback in the global semiconductor sector. Recently, storage chip leaders including SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics have remained under pressure, leading the market to worry that the AI sector has posted excessive gains and carries high valuations in the early phase, with some funds opting to take profits ahead of the earnings report. Meanwhile, investors have developed certain differences of opinion over the future demand growth rate of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and changes in industry supply and demand. As Micron is a core player in the AI server industrial chain, its earnings report is regarded as an important barometer to test the current AI investment boom. If it continues to release positive signals such as strong AI data center demand and tight HBM supply, it may boost sentiment in the NVIDIA industrial chain and the semiconductor sector; conversely, it could trigger a further revaluation of AI sector valuations.

South Korean memory chip giant SK Hynix plans to raise up to 45 trillion won (approximately $290 billion) by issuing American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in New York, with the transaction set to launch in July. If successfully completed, the financing will exceed Alibaba’s $25 billion IPO in 2014, making it one of the largest overseas equity financing projects in South Korean corporate history and approaching a global capital market record. According to the plan, SK Hynix will first issue shares in South Korea, then deposit the relevant shares with the Korea Securities Depository as the underlying securities for the ADRs. South Korean regulators are expected to complete the review before July 3. The raised funds will be mainly used for the construction of SK Hynix’s Yongin semiconductor cluster in South Korea and its plant in Indiana, U.S., as well as the purchase of EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography equipment to support the expansion of AI-related advanced storage capacity. Citigroup, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America have been selected as the lead underwriters. SK Hynix’s confidence in the U.S. fundraising stems from its strong position in the AI industry chain. As a global leader in high-bandwidth memory (HBM), the company is a core supplier of NVIDIA’s AI accelerator chips. Driven by AI demand, its stock price has risen by more than 300% so far this year. CEO Kyu Jung-woo said the company hopes to leverage the U.S. capital market to enhance its global influence and achieve a valuation commensurate with other AI hardware companies.

SK Hynix announced plans to raise up to 45 trillion won (approximately $29 billion) through an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) listing. The ADRs will go public in July, with proceeds earmarked for constructing factories in South Korea and purchasing EUV equipment.
