Why SK Hynix (SKHX) rose 2.45%
SK Hynix (SKHX) rose 2.45% on September 21, 2026 — HanmiGlobal secures SK hynix Indiana fab deal.
What happened

Why it matters

What would break the thesis
Project delay, cost overruns, or a shift in HanmiGlobal's scope would undercut the de-risking narrative and raise questions about execution capability.
