SK Hynix2026-07-11 04:02:11SK Hynix’s Nasdaq listing points to valuation reset more than a funding needSK Hynix’s July 10 Nasdaq debut was framed by the source article as something larger than a conventional capital raise. The company priced its shares at $149, rose nearly 13% on its first trading day, and reached a $1.23 trillion market value. Its $26.5 billion IPO topped Alibaba’s 2014 deal as the largest U.S. fundraising by a foreign issuer, according to the article. The central argument is that SK Hynix did not come to the U.S. because it lacked cash. The company posted a 77% net margin in the first quarter and earned about 40 trillion won, or roughly $30 billion, in net profit in a single quarter, more than the IPO proceeds. The source says the offering represented less than 3% of total market value, with only 2.5% new shares issued. Instead, the article ties the move to a long-standing “Korea Discount,” under which South Korean equities trade at structurally lower valuations than U.S. peers. It contrasts SK Hynix’s roughly 8x forward earnings framework in Seoul with Micron’s 23x multiple in the U.S., despite SK Hynix holding 56.4% of the HBM market and supplying about 70% of HBM4 orders for Nvidia’s next-generation NVL72 Vera Rubin platform, based on figures cited in the piece. The article argues that access to deeper global capital pools is becoming critical as HBM4, advanced foundry outsourcing, and AI infrastructure spending drive much larger capital needs.1460
Nvidia2026-07-06 03:29:54Nvidia’s Kyber May Slip to 2028, Forcing a New Repricing Across the AI Supply ChainA new SemiAnalysis report says Nvidia’s Kyber NVL144 rack, unveiled by Jensen Huang at GTC 2026, may be delayed by more than 12 months to 2028, while the companion NVL72x2 back-to-back rack architecture has reportedly been canceled. The change would compress Rubin Ultra’s NVLink expansion domain and marks the latest in a series of supply-chain setbacks tied to Nvidia’s next-generation AI infrastructure roadmap. Over the past 30 days, third-party research has pointed to delays in native 800VDC power deployment, potential slippage in co-packaged optics commercialization, and the cancellation of the four-die Rubin Ultra configuration in favor of a two-die version with roughly half the original compute and memory bandwidth. These reports have already triggered sector-level repricing across optical communications, PCB manufacturing, and power infrastructure names. The immediate losers appear to be advanced PCB makers and parts of the CPO ecosystem, while copper cable, connector vendors, and some upstream material suppliers may benefit from a longer lifecycle for the mature Oberon/NVL72 architecture. Nvidia has not officially confirmed the reported delays, leaving investors focused on upcoming earnings commentary and order guidance from Taiwanese ODMs and PCB suppliers for confirmation.640
