On August 6, SK hynix declined 7.85% in regular trading, trading at $140.705/share, with turnover of $669 million.
Multiple headwinds converged to pressure the stock. Subsidiary Solidigm is reportedly seeking pre-IPO financing at a target valuation of 50 trillion Korean won in preparation for a Nasdaq listing, but SK hynix stated it is \"considering various options and has not made any decision,\" with the uncertainty unsettling investors. Simultaneously, a Korean shareholder group filed criminal complaints against SK hynix's CEO alleging breach of fiduciary duty related to bonus schemes, with police launching an investigation. Additionally, the company's labor union rejected management's proposal to distribute over half of bonuses in restricted stock, warning of potential further action.
The Korean KOSPI index fell over 4% on the day, with SK hynix's domestic shares dropping more than 8%, further dragging the US-listed ADR lower. Within the Semiconductors sector, Micron Technology fell 4.73%, Intel declined 3.08%, and Marvell Technology dropped 1.94%.
