SK Hynix (SKHY) shares trade near $195 amid sustained AI-driven demand for high-bandwidth memory, with the company reporting Q2 2026 revenue of KRW 79.3 trillion (up 257% YoY) and operating profit of KRW 60.5 trillion on HBM leadership and long-term supply contracts with major customers. Recent analyst actions include target reductions by Bernstein and DS Investment, citing potential 2027 margin pressure and Samsung competition, while others maintain Buy ratings with KRW 2.6–3.4 million equivalents. Memory pricing remains firm, supported by tight supply, though the stock has pulled back from its KRW 2.987 million high. The next earnings release on October 27 and ongoing capital expenditure plans represent near-term variables for price action in the week of October 5.
