SK Hynix Poised to Join Trillion-Dollar Market Cap Club Amid AI Demand

SK Hynix is on the verge of joining the trillion-dollar market cap club, following Samsung Electronics' recent milestone. According to Odaily, driven by strong demand in the artificial intelligence sector, South Korea has become a central hub in Asia's AI boom. After an impressive 274% increase in 2025, SK Hynix's stock has surged over 200% this year. If SK Hynix crosses the trillion-dollar threshold, South Korea will be the first market outside the United States with more than two companies exceeding this valuation. "The current market is largely driven by 'fear of missing out' (FOMO), particularly evident in AI-related stocks in Japan and South Korea," said Fabien Yip, a market analyst at Sydney's IG Group.
