SK Hynix is trading at $136.47, down 4.73% in pre-market as investors question whether heavy data-center spending will deliver sufficient returns.

  • The decline fits a wider Asian technology selloff. Reuters reported that worries about soaring AI investment costs and escalating Gulf tensions weighed on risk sentiment; SK Hynix and Samsung were among the region’s biggest losers.
  • U.S. indices and memory chips were lower pre-market, supporting a broader risk-off and sector explanation rather than a confirmed company-specific catalyst.
