SK Hynix's operating profit is projected to reach KRW 60.4 trillion, representing a 61% QoQ and 556% YoY increase. This figure, however, falls 8% below the consensus estimate of KRW 65 trillion, primarily due to the company's higher HBM revenue mix compared to its peers.
SK Hynix's HBM revenue mix is driving lower average selling price increases, impacting overall profitability despite strong HBM demand.
