South Korea’s SK Hynix on Wednesday posted record quarterly revenue and profit, boosted by surging memory prices and demand for generative AI chipsets, as it competes with rival Samsung for the title of the world’s top memory producer.
The memory maker also announced additional dividends of 1 trillion won, or 1,500 won per share, lifting its total dividend payout for fiscal 2025 to 2.1 trillion won.
Here are the company’s results versus LSEG SmartEstimates, which are weighted toward forecasts from analysts who are more consistently accurate:
Revenue rose about 66% in the December quarter from a year earlier, while operating profit surged 137% over the same period.
SK Hynix makes memory chips used to store data, which are found in everything from servers to consumer devices such as smartphones and laptops.
