Nvidia supplier SK Hynix posts record quarterly profit, meets forecasts
[SEOUL] South Korea’s SK Hynix posted on Wednesday a record quarterly profit, spurred by an artificial intelligence boom that has driven up demand for both advanced chips and conventional products.
The Nvidia supplier reported an 11.4 trillion won (S$10.4 billion) operating profit for the July-September period, up 62 per cent from a year earlier.
The figure was in line with an 11.4 trillion won forecast by LSEG SmartEstimate, which is weighted toward analysts who are more consistently accurate.
