What happened

Industry forecasts point to a massive 3Q26 (third quarter of 2026) for SK hynix: sales up 300% YoY and operating profit up 576% YoY, with earnings tipped to approach a record KRW 77T. As background, Samsung is projecting a nearly 800% YoY surge in 3Q26 operating profit to KRW 107T. Whether SK hynix's HBM4 ramp-up can meet expectations and deliver the next profit boost remains an open question; DRAM/NAND ASP growth and LTA updates are also in focus. These are forecasts, not achieved results, and the source does not state the cause.
