# Why SK Hynix (SKHX) rose 2.59% on September 25, 2026

SK Hynix (SKHX) rose 2.59% on September 25, 2026 — Solidigm mulls $150B IPO, unlocks value.

## What happened

SK Hynix's Solidigm unit is exploring an IPO that could value it at $150 billion, unlocking optionality for the parent company.

## Why it matters

Solidigm's IPO fits Korea Tech's structural tailwind: reshoring investment, AI datacenter capex, and semiconductor supply-chain decoupling all support the standalone business case.

## What would break the thesis
