SK Hynix, the South Korean semiconductor powerhouse that makes the memory chips Nvidia can’t live without, says investors are enthusiastically backing its plan to list shares in the United States. The company shared positive shareholder feedback on June 4 regarding its US listing initiative, confirming what most market watchers already suspected: Wall Street wants a piece of the AI chip supply chain.
The company confidentially filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission back in March 2026 for a potential American Depositary Receipt listing. The target timeline is the second half of 2026, and the projected proceeds could reach up to $14 billion.
What the listing actually looks like
The proposed ADR offering would encompass roughly 2% to 3% of the company’s shares. SK Hynix plans to pour the proceeds into expanding fabrication facilities in both South Korea and the United States, with a significant project in Indiana serving as the American anchor of that expansion.
The company has emphasized that no particular updates on the structure or size of the listing have been finalized.
