The company said it intends to direct the proceeds toward capital expenditures, including expanding production facilities in South Korea and purchasing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography scanners used to manufacture advanced semiconductors.
Bloomberg also reported that investor demand has already exceeded the number of American depositary receipts available under the offering terms. Despite that interest, SK Hynix shares in South Korea declined after the company targeted a fundraising amount below the roughly $29 billion previously indicated in late June.
SK Hynix has been one of the semiconductor companies benefiting from increased demand for high-bandwidth memory, alongside Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology. The specialized memory has become an important component of AI infrastructure, supporting advanced computing workloads.
The company said its stock has gained more than 250% in South Korea, helping lift its market capitalization above $1 trillion in May after Micron Technology reached the same milestone.
Its SEC filing also showed strong recent financial growth, with first-quarter 2026 revenue increasing at an annualized year-over-year rate of 198%.
SK Hynix identified Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft among its customers, reflecting the company’s role in supplying memory products to major AI technology companies.
