" will be secured.
The company viewed the issue, which the market perceived as a concern over duplicate listings, as an opportunity to strengthen global investment competitiveness by securing cash.
Mirae Asset Securities estimated SK Hynix's shareholder return at 40 trillion won and pointed out that now, with the stock price having fallen to half of its peak, is the opportune time for returns such as share buybacks.
"Even if 100 trillion won in cash, which is considered a safe asset, is retained, 70 to 80 trillion won in available resources remains, and returning half of this is entirely feasible," said Researcher Kim.
9% is expected." The analysis suggests that the larger the scale of returns, the more it will be perceived as a sign of confidence in the company's cash generation capabilities.※ NAND Flash It is a storage memory semiconductor that retains data even when the power is turned off.USB, SSD, and smartphone storage are all made of NAND flash, and Solidigm is a company that manufactures high-capacity storage devices for AI data centers using this NAND flash.※ Pre-IPO (Investment before listing) This refers to receiving investment in advance from major investors, such as institutional investors, before officially listing on the stock market.

Researcher Kim Min-kyung analyzed, "While demand for MLCCs and FCBGAs continues to increase, driven by AI servers, supply expansion remains limited due to rising capacity losses.
" She added, "With the emergence of AI data center clients capable of absorbing higher prices than in past cycles, the likelihood of recording profitability exceeding market expectations is becoming very high.
" This implies that pricing power is shifting toward Samsung Electro-Mechanics, as the number of buyers is increasing while production capacity remains limited.
In fact, Samsung Electro-Mechanics raised prices for MLCCs for distribution channels by approximately 10% and 30% in June and August, respectively.
Researcher Kim explained, "As the supply and demand situation for MLCCs becomes tighter, there is a high possibility of price negotiations for volumes outside of distribution channels.
" ※ Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) It is an ultra-small component that maintains a constant current in a circuit, storing electricity and releasing it as needed.Hundreds to thousands are used in a single smartphone, and tens of thousands in an AI server, earning it the nickname "the rice of the electronics industry." ※ Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FC-BGA) It is a high-value substrate that connects semiconductor chips to the mainboard.Because it uses a method of flipping the chip over and attaching it with a small solder ball, it offers fast signal transmission and is advantageous for heat dissipation, making it a core component in high-performance semiconductors such as AI CPUs and GPUs.0% downward, from 12,500 won) Kiwoom Securities lowered its target price for Nexen Tire to 10,500 won to reflect the risk of tariff hikes in the second half of the year, while maintaining its 'Buy' investment rating.

" He added, "As net profit is expected to decrease compared to the previous year, a strategy of using dividend funds to repay borrowings and reduce interest expenses would actually be more advantageous for boosting the stock price.
" This suggests that in years of declining profits, it is more beneficial for shareholders to pay off debt first rather than increase dividends.
※Anti-dumping Tariff Tariffs are additional tariffs imposed to cover the difference when it is determined that a foreign company is selling products at excessively low prices in a domestic market, thereby causing damage to the domestic industry.
Because it is imposed on top of general customs duties, it constitutes a double burden for export companies.※ Minimum Tax This refers to the minimum threshold of tax that a company must pay on its income, even if it receives various tax reduction benefits.The European Union (EU) is currently implementing a 'Global Minimum Tax,' which expands this concept to an international level.This system collects the difference if the actual tax rate borne by multinational corporations falls short of 15% in each country.Consequently, companies that have received tax reduction benefits from local governments to attract investment actually face an increased tax burden; this is the background behind the increased corporate tax burden for Nexen Tire, which has a large proportion of factories in Europe.
