#Sk Hynix

🇰🇷 SK hynix employees have created a new union to protect their bonuses from management revision. 📉 In August 2026, 3,800 employees (11% of the staff) joined the new organization, dissatisfied with the fragmentation of old unions. 💰 The conflict flared up over an agreement on 10% of annual profit: management wants to replace part of the bonuses with stock, like at Samsung, but workers oppose market volatility. ⚖️ The Korean government criticizes both the payment model and the negotiation process. The new union will likely be able to influence decisions only next year.

Chinese CXMT, having surpassed Intel in capitalization, is preparing to launch LPDDR6 memory. The chips have already passed checks and will compete with SK Hynix products. The first smartphones with such memory will appear by the end of the year 📱🚀

The South Korean Kospi index plunged 16% in two days due to fears of Chinese competition and overspending on AI. SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics stocks became the main victims of the sell-off, exacerbated by leveraged funds. Investors are sounding the alarm: the cost of default insurance for giants like Oracle and Google has reached record highs.

The memory market reached record highs in July 2026 due to the AI arms race. DDR5 prices have risen 4.5 times, while hard drives have become 2.25 times more expensive. Manufacturers are not rushing to increase capacity, so a price drop is not expected until 2027 💸💾🚀
