SK Hynix launches US IPO to cash in on AI-driven memory demand

SK Hynix is set to price and debut on the Nasdaq with a US listing (ticker SKHY) after offering 177.9 million American Depositary Shares, equivalent to 17.79 million ordinary shares, in a deal that could raise about $28 billion — potentially the largest foreign listing ever.
