According to Bijie.com, on Monday, South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix briefly surpassed its peer Samsung Electronics to become the largest company by market capitalization in South Korea. SK Hynix's stock price rose 5.7%, bringing its total market capitalization to 2,082.5 trillion won (equivalent to US$1.35 trillion). During the same period, Samsung Electronics' stock price rose only 0.4%, with a total market capitalization of 2,081.3 trillion won. Samsung Electronics had held the top spot in South Korea's market capitalization since 2000, but this time it was briefly dethroned by SK Hynix. Driven by the rush of US tech giants to build artificial intelligence data centers, demand for memory chips surged, supply tightened, and product prices rose, resulting in record profits for both of South Korea's major chip companies. This year alone, SK Hynix's stock price has risen by over 340%, significantly outperforming Samsung Electronics' 200% increase.
