SK Hynix Gears Up for Capacity Boost in 2026
Along with bumper results, SK Hynix said its memory chip supply for next year is already fully booked. As a result, the company plans to expand production capacity in 2026 to capitalize on the AI boom.
Additionally, the company stated that it sees a long-lasting “super cycle” in the global memory chip market, with limited supply growth at a time when demand for AI technologies is rapidly accelerating.
Meanwhile, SK Hynix said it will start supplying its new HBM4 chips this quarter after securing orders from customers. This marks the sixth generation of its HBM technology. The company also noted that HBM (high bandwidth memory) product demand has been outpacing supply since 2023 and expects the market to stay tight through 2027 as it continues expanding production.
What Is NVDA’s Stock Price Target?
SK Hynix powers Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips, making it a critical part of Nvidia’s success. Their growth is tied together because stronger AI demand means bigger business for both companies in the future. Since SK Hynix isn’t listed in the U.S., investors often look at Nvidia’s stock outlook.
Turning to Wall Street, analysts remain highly bullish on NVDA stock. According to TipRanks, the stock has received a Strong Buy consensus rating, with 35 Buys, one Hold, and one Sell assigned in the last three months. The average Nvidia stock price target is $225.0, suggesting a potential upside of 12% from the current level.
