TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Battle of the Chipmakers

Samsung Versus SK Hynix

Nvidia (NVDA) might dominate the AI scene, but other companies in the industry are also making their mark. 

Two memory chipmakers have been on the rise: SK Hynix (KRX: 000660) and Samsung (KRX: 005930).

Samsung is currently the world’s largest supplier of dynamic random-access memory chips, crucial to data processing. 

But SK Hynix is hot on Samsung’s tail, recently announcing that it’s the first company in the industry to mass-produce the next generation of high-bandwidth memory chips (HBM3E). It’s currently Nvidia’s number-one supplier of HBM3E chips.

SK Hynix

SK Hynix reported earnings in April and saw its 5-quarter losing streak end. Its net profit for the first quarter came in at $1.39 billion. 

Analyst Trent Masters of Alphinity Investment Management says SK Hynix is the stronger play. He’s bullish because of the company’s reliability and partnership with TSMC (TSM), further solidifying its position as an industry leader. 

Masters likes that SK Hynix has homed in on its core competency: memory chipmaking. Meanwhile, Samsung makes everything from chips to refrigerators.

Nam Hyung Kim of Arete Research agrees that SK Hynix is the stronger pick. He noted that its profit margins look better than Samsung’s and its stock has outperformed over the past 12 months.

Samsung

Samsung’s April earnings report was also strong, beating expectations with first-quarter operating profit up over 900%. 

Sung Kyu Kim of Daiwa Capital Markets has given the stock a buy rating. The analyst predicts Samsung will begin to close the gap between the two companies in the HBM3E space. If the company does catch up, he believes Samsung has more upside potential. 

Nvidia isn’t the only company benefiting from the AI boom, and investors could look to these well-positioned stocks to take advantage of the trend.
