SK Hynix’s planned NASDAQ ADR sale is more than a record-breaking capital raise. It reflects the growing importance of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, which have become essential for training and running artificial intelligence models. The US listing is expected to broaden the company’s investor base, support future expansion and strengthen its position in the global AI supply chain. The move could also pave the way for more Asian semiconductor companies to tap US capital markets as AI infrastructure spending continues to accelerate.
