[SK Hynix Considers Selling Equity in Chongqing Plant to Support Large-Scale Domestic Investment in South Korea] BlockBeats News, August 9: SK Hynix is exploring options such as introducing external investors or selling part of the equity in its Chongqing plant in China, which is valued at approximately $3 billion. The plant serves as a key semiconductor post-processing base for SK Hynix in China. Discussions are still in the early stages, and the transaction may not ultimately materialize. This asset adjustment has drawn attention primarily because SK Hynix is simultaneously advancing large-scale expansion plans within South Korea. The company previously announced substantial investments in the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster and the Cheongju production base to build next-generation DRAM memory and high-bandwidth storage capacity. Against the backdrop of growing demand for memory chips driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, if the equity transaction for the Chongqing plant goes through, it is expected to help improve asset operational efficiency and strengthen funding support for domestic investments.
