0243 GMT - Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix stand to benefit from the memory supercycle, which will probably last until at least 2027, Nomura analysts say in a research report. Demand in 2026 will likely be strong for dynamic random access memory and high-bandwidth memory, the analysts note. Demand for DRAM is expected to be robust in 2026 thanks to conventional servers and solid-state drives for artificial intelligence and non-AI servers, resulting in memory clients starting proactive purchases, the analysts add. The brokerage raises the target prices of buy-rated Samsung Electronics to KRW160,000 from KRW150,000 and of buy-rated SK Hynix to KRW880,000 from KRW840,000. Shares of Samsung Electronics last at KRW116,500; those of SK Hynix last at KRW603,000. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
