- New Company Formation: SK Hynix announced the establishment of a new U.S.-based entity, tentatively named 'AI Company,' committing at least $10 billion to seize AI growth opportunities and further advance its global AI strategies.
- Restructuring and Integration: The new entity will be created by restructuring its California-based subsidiary Solidigm, which will transition to Solidigm Inc., aimed at enhancing synergies across SK Group's AI initiatives.
- Surging Market Demand: In response to skyrocketing demand for AI chips, SK Hynix is accelerating investments, pledging nearly $13 billion to build an advanced chip packaging plant in South Korea to meet the rising need for memory chips.
- Policy Alignment: The establishment of the new company aligns with the Trump administration's policies, which have threatened tariffs on semiconductor manufacturers unless they heavily invest in the U.S., showcasing SK Hynix's strategic flexibility in navigating trade tensions.
