Citrini Analyst: SK Hynix Operating Profit Expected to Reach 60.4 Trillion KRW, 8% Lower Than Market Expectations

Odaily Planet Daily News: Citrini analyst jukan posted on the X platform, stating that local South Korean brokerages expect SK Hynix's operating profit to reach 60.4 trillion KRW, a 61% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 556% increase year-over-year. However, this is still 8% lower than the market consensus of 65 trillion KRW. The lower-than-expected figure is mainly attributed to SK Hynix's higher proportion of HBM revenue compared to its peers, resulting in a slower average selling price increase than the market average.
