SK Hynix is expected to announce Q2 operating profit of approximately 6.4 trillion won, a minimal increase from Q1's 6.2 trillion won, due to continued supply-demand imbalances and low memory prices. The company saw declines in DRAM and NAND flash prices in H1 2026, attributed to oversupply and a slump in the PC and smartphone markets. SK Hynix aims for performance improvement by expanding high-value HBM and DDR5 products.
Memory prices remain low due to oversupply, impacting SK Hynix's near-term profitability despite its focus on high-value HBM and DDR5.
