On Wednesday, SK Hynix Inc.
(NASDAQ:SKHY) reported record quarterly earnings as booming demand for artificial intelligence (AI) memory chips powered its strongest financial performance yet, although its quarterly profit fell short of Wall Street expectations.
AI’s Growing Memory Appetite is Tightening Supply During the earnings call, Hyun-Jong Song, president and head of SK Hynix’s Corporate Center, said the company is seeing "temporary sales adjustments" in PC and mobile markets because customers are facing difficulties securing memory.
However, Song said those segments could regain momentum as supply constraints ease and AI services become more widely adopted.
