Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
SK hynix produces memory and storage solutions used in AI infrastructure, servers, and data centers. Its revenue comes from selling products including HBM and DRAM for AI servers and eSSD products, while Solidigm operates as a subsidiary specializing in data storage. Improvements in the company's economics depend on higher demand volumes, rising prices for high-performance products, and a sales mix shift toward higher-value, more profitable products.
In fiscal Q2 2026 ended 2026-06-30, revenue reached KRW 79.32 trillion, representing year-over-year growth of 256.8% from KRW 22.23 trillion in fiscal Q2 2025. Net income was KRW 93.82 trillion and diluted earnings per share were 13228.5, while operating cash flow reached KRW 65.71 trillion. Gross margin expanded to 83.2% from 53.9%, and operating margin to 76.3% from 41.4%, alongside a higher contribution from HBM and DRAM for AI servers and eSSD to the higher-value product mix.
During the last 12 months through 2026-06-30, SK hynix generated revenue of KRW 189.17 trillion, net income of KRW 161.97 trillion, operating cash flow of KRW 127.22 trillion, and free cash flow of KRW 91.18 trillion. In fiscal Q2 2026, the company held cash and investments of KRW 26.84 trillion against total debt of KRW 21.11 trillion. Diluted shares outstanding were 7.13 billion, a limited increase of 0.2% from 7.12 billion in the comparable quarter.

The indicative value based on the median analyst target is $240 within a range of $200 to $300. This is a low-confidence method that prices in expected growth and is inherently inclined toward optimism. The value based on the industry multiple is $142 within a range of $53 to $311, pricing SK hynix like its peers using a median sales multiple of 8.3 across 109 companies. The discounted cash flow model, which values the cash generated by the company at a discount rate of 14.2%, produces a low-confidence indicative value of $109 within a range of $97 to $126 and is inherently inclined toward conservatism. The no-growth value is $90, representing what remains if current after-tax operating profit stays constant forever; therefore, the two cash-linked methods converge at $109 and $90, while analyst targets and the industry multiple assume higher estimates for growth and peer comparability. The average analyst consensus is $242 versus a median of $240, while the valuation pillar of the EL7 score ranks 17 out of 172 within the industry with a score of 91 out of 100; this pillar measures the attractiveness of valuation metrics compared with peer companies.

On 2026-09-23, the company approved a KRW 40 trillion share repurchase program. It also raised its shareholder return target to more than 50% of cumulative free cash flow. This target is supported by free cash flow of KRW 91.18 trillion during the last 12 months through 2026-06-30, but the filing for that period recorded no completed share repurchases.
Reports on 2026-09-25 stated that Solidigm was considering an initial public offering that could take place in 2027 at the earliest. The offering could raise about $15 billion and value the data storage unit at up to $150 billion, with the timing and size remaining subject to market conditions. SK hynix had said on 2026-09-04 that Solidigm was considering various measures to strengthen its competitiveness, but confirmed that no final decision had been made.
In 2026-09, CXMT began mass production of fifth-generation DRAM chips and entered the NAND market, increasing competitive pressure in two categories in which SK hynix operates. On 2026-09-14, concerns also emerged about regulatory proposals that could constrain the pace of AI development, affecting the demand driver for HBM and server DRAM. In addition, operating cash flow did not exceed 79% of net income during the last 12 months through 2026-06-30, making cash conversion quality an area to monitor despite strong profitability.
