SK Hynix reported a second-quarter revenue of 79.32 trillion won ($54.55 billion), falling short of the 84 trillion won expected by analysts. Operating profit was 60.54 trillion won, missing the 64 trillion won forecast. Year-on-year, revenue increased by 257% and operating profit grew nearly 557%. This performance highlights strong AI infrastructure demand, with cumulative revenue for the first half of the year surpassing 100 trillion won, marking a significant milestone for the company.
