SK Hynix clarified on August 10, 2026, that it has not decided to sell its Chongqing, China packaging plant. The statement responds to a Korea Exchange inquiry following media reports of a potential divestment.
The company is currently reviewing various options to enhance the competitiveness of its packaging business. Media reports estimate the stake in the facility is valued at approximately 4 trillion won ($3 billion).
SK Hynix committed to providing a further update within one month or once details are confirmed. Separately, the company's stock declined significantly amid a broader tech selloff linked to geopolitical tensions.
