Citrini Analyst: SK Hynix Operating Profit Expected at 60.4 Trillion KRW, 8% Below Market Consensus

Odaily Odaily report: Citrini analyst jukan posted on platform X, stating that local South Korean securities firms expect SK Hynix's operating profit to reach 60.4 trillion KRW, a 61% increase quarter-on-quarter and a 556% increase year-on-year. However, this figure is still 8% below the market consensus estimate of 65 trillion KRW. The lower-than-expected profit is primarily due to SK Hynix's higher proportion of HBM revenue compared to its peers, resulting in its average selling price growth lagging behind the market average.
