SK Hynix Posts Record Quarter With Sales Topping 100 Trillion Won
SK Hynix surpassed 100 trillion won in quarterly sales for the first time, driven by strong HBM4 and server product demand.
SK Hynix reported record-breaking third-quarter 2026 financial results, with revenues reaching 104.62 trillion won — the first time the South Korean chipmaker has exceeded 100 trillion won in a single quarter. Operating profit came in at 83.33 trillion won, while net profit totaled 39.78 trillion won, underscoring the company's strengthening position in the global memory semiconductor market.
The milestone was driven largely by expanding sales of HBM4, the latest generation of high-bandwidth memory, alongside high-value-added server products. The company indicated that HBM4 is expected to become the dominant mainstream product in its lineup going forward, signaling continued momentum in the premium memory segment as artificial intelligence infrastructure spending accelerates across the industry.

Analysts are likely to view the figures as confirmation that the AI-driven memory upcycle remains intact, with high-bandwidth memory commanding premium pricing and robust order volumes from hyperscale data center operators. SK Hynix's emphasis on transitioning HBM4 to mainstream status suggests management anticipates sustained enterprise and cloud demand through the near term.
