SK Hynix reported its first-quarter 2025 financial results, posting an operating profit of 7.44 trillion won, a 157.8% increase compared to the same period last year. This operating profit exceeded the Bloomberg consensus estimate of 6.62 trillion won. The company also recorded net income of 8.11 trillion won, surpassing the estimated 5.04 trillion won, and revenue of 17.64 trillion won, above the expected 17.2 trillion won. SK Hynix anticipates growth in its memory chip sales for the second quarter, projecting DRAM sales to increase by low double-digit percentages quarter-over-quarter and NAND sales to rise by more than 20% quarter-over-quarter. Despite these positive results, the company noted ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. SK Hynix is a major player in the semiconductor industry, and its strong earnings performance reflects robust demand in the memory chip sector.
