As of 1:11 p.m. on the 24th, Samsung Electronics was trading at 200,000 won, up 3.63% from the previous trading day. At the same time, SK Hynix was trading at 1,000,000 won, up 5.11% from the previous trading day. In the morning session, SK Hynix hit an intraday high of 1,003,000 won.
The share prices of both companies are hitting all-time highs in tandem, driving a sharp rally in the KOSPI. As of 1:13 p.m. that day, the KOSPI was trading at 5,953.01, up 1.83% from the previous trading day. This is also an all-time high.
Securities firms continue to raise their target prices for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
On the same day, Park Junyoung, an analyst at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said, "We expect a recovery in competitiveness in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) 4, a consequent multiple re-rating, and explosive earnings growth driven by overwhelming memory production capacity," setting a target price of 260,000 won.
Han Donghee, an analyst at SK Securities, said, "As memory demand becomes structurally tied to the artificial intelligence (AI) super-cycle, earnings visibility has improved, and if a plan to list the company on the U.S. stock market in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) becomes concrete, SK Hynix's undervaluation will become even more pronounced," raising the target price to 1,600,000 won.
