South Korea’s SK Hynix raises $26.5bn in record-breaking US IPO

SK Hynix, a major South Korean semiconductor manufacturer, raised a record $26.5 billion through its U.S. Initial Public Offering (IPO), making it the largest foreign company IPO in U.S. history. The company sold 177.9 million American Depositary Shares (ADS) at $149 each, surpassing Alibaba's 2014 IPO. The offering was over-subscribed sevenfold, indicating strong investor interest despite broader market volatility. Analysts noted the surge reflects growing demand for semiconductors driven by the AI industry, with SK Hynix reporting record profits. The company now joins an exclusive group of firms valued over $1 trillion and is part of a major South Korean AI investment initiative.
