Solidigm IPO cancellation puts SK Hynix's Kioxia stake in focus

What happened

SK Hynix's decision to halt evaluation of a Solidigm pre-IPO and IPO has renewed questions over how it will finance a planned NAND flash plant in the US. Selling remaining assets linked to its investment in Kioxia has emerged as a potential funding option, but Kioxia's share-price decline (the source does not state the cause) and the investment's strategic and shareholder value have complicated the timing and necessity of any sale. The sale remains a potential option and is not confirmed to be implemented.
