Techa Tungateja/iStock via Getty Images Following a blockbuster Nasdaq debut that saw its stock surge 12.8% on Friday, SK Hynix ( SKHYV ) shares slid as much as 8.2% in early Monday trading in Seoul as investors locked in profits. The South Korean firm raised over $26B selling American Depositary Receipts priced at $149 each. The ADRs opened 14% above the offer price at $170 before ending their first trading day with a 12.8% gain. South Korea's benchmark KOSPI index plunged 8% as of 5:01 a.m. GMT on Monday. Asian equities declined amid rising geopolitical risks after fresh US-Iran military strikes. Ryu Young-ho, a senior analyst at NH Investment & Securities, said investors were profit-taking after the conclusion of the U.S. listing, while sentiment also suffered from caution with regards to SK Hynix's second-quarter earnings. He said investors had expected shipments of SK Hynix's HBM4 chips to increase from the second quarter, but that the increase does not appear to have materialised at scale, according to a Reuters report. Ryu also said investors had moderated earnings expectations because SK Hynix, with its greater exposure to the HBM market than cross-town rival Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ), was set to benefit less from a recent rise in prices for conventional DRAM chips, the report added. SK Hynix led the market for high bandwidth memory chips with a 58% revenue share in the first quarter, whereas Samsung and U.S. competitor Micron Technology ( MU ) each held 21%, Counterpoint Research data showed. HBM chips are primarily used in AI systems for customers such as Nvidia ( NVDA ) and Alphabet's ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) Google. More on SK hynix Inc.
