Ji Cheong, associate director at S&P Global Ratings, noted the company's annual capital expenditure is projected to reach 50 to 70 trillion won over the next two years, with the IPO proceeds covering only a portion. He added, \"The company is expected to generate over 200 trillion won in operating cash flow annually in the coming years.\"eToro's Wong believes the listing will strengthen SK hynix's financing capacity for expansion and pave the way for more capital market activities in the U.S., including share buybacks, enhanced investor engagement, and broader market development.\nHBM Leadership and the Enduring Capacity Challenge\nAs SK hynix launches its ADRs, the market is also assessing the company's ability to maintain its lead in the high-growth HBM market, which is crucial for AI accelerators. Philip Wool, chief portfolio manager at Rayliant, suggested SK hynix faces a \"problem of success,\" as robust demand for HBM far outpaces its ability to supply the market.This supply gap has created opportunities for competitors like Samsung Electronics and Micron, which are accelerating the development of rival products and signing supply agreements with major cloud providers to help diversify their AI chip supply chains.Futurum Group's Bulk predicts SK hynix will remain the world's largest HBM supplier, but its market share could drop from about 57% last year to roughly 50% this year. As Samsung gains share and Micron solidifies its position as the third-largest player, SK hynix's share could gradually decline to just over 40%.The industry's core challenge, however, is not market share but production capacity. Bulk stated, \"The market debate isn't about who has the share, but who can provide enough capacity to meet demand.\" He added that even with announced fab expansion plans, capacity is still insufficient to meet projected demand through the end of 2030.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"159632":1,"QQQJ":1,"MNQmain":1,"LCLG":1,"NOCT":1,"03455":1,"NVIW.SI":1,"QMAR":1,"07568":1,"DRAL":1,"JEPQ":1,"NJUL":1,"QLD":1,"TECS":1,"EEMO":1,"09086":1,"QQQM":1,"TQQY":1,"SQQQ":1,"RAM":1,"TQQQ":1,"FTEC":1,"FIVY":1,"GROZ":1,"QQQY":1,"NQmain":1,"QYLG":1,"SKHYV":1,"IYW":1,"09834":1,"PSQ":1,"NJAN":1,"NAPR":1,"NDX":1,"QQQX":1,"07261":1,".IXIC":1,"SKHY":1,"07522":1,"QDEC":1,"GPIQ":1,"ONEQ":1,"02834":1,"QDTE":1,"QQQA":1,"EDZ":1,"QQQE":1,"QQQ":1,"QID":1,"03034":1,"IWLG":1,"07266":1,"03086":1,"ARTL":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":960,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":["SKHYV","SKHY"],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":72,"optionInvolvedFlag":false,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[{"id":584503034983320,"commentId":"584503034983320","gmtCreate":1783731041843,"gmtModify":1783731264733,"authorId":4150475710593262,"author":{"id":4150475710593262,"idStr":"4150475710593262","authorId":4150475710593262,"name":"Gold9292","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[],"wearingBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":584374618957080,"objectIdStr":"584374618957080","type":1,"supId":0,"supIdStr":"0","prevId":0,"prevIdStr":"0","content":"crazy...
