TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY
Not Done Yet
Nvidia’s (NVDA) high-bandwidth memory chip supplier SK Hynix (HXSCL) has seen its stock rise 90% over the past 12 months.
Wall Street analysts think it has plenty more room to run thanks to skyrocketing AI demand and strong earnings projections. Goldman Sachs (GS) has given it a price target of $210.
Profits Are Up
According to Roh Jongwon of Infinity Global Asset Management, its current share price doesn’t reflect the true potential of the company’s product. Jongwon believes its chips are twice as profitable as its competitors.
Per Bloomberg data, the company’s Q2 earnings are expected to show an operating profit of 5 trillion won, the highest in six years. This contrasts starkly with the company’s losses last year - and it’s mostly thanks to surging AI demand.
Still Some Skeptics
SK Hynix shares dropped nearly 5% last Thursday on news that Samsung (SSNLF) could be signing a deal with Nvidia to become another chip supplier for the AI powerhouse. Samsung has since denied these reports. The stock is currently trading at 2.9 times book value, a multiple not seen since 2011.
Investors know that AI is an undiscovered market. Its potential, while promising, is still unknown. The fear of oversupply and overvaluation hurting SK Hynix’s long-term trajectory has some analysts cautious.
US investors can access the stock through the Korean stock exchange or depository receipts.
