Hantou Securities: "SK Hynix 2Q Operating Profit to Fall Short of Market Expectations"
Hantou forecasts SK Hynix's 2Q operating profit to miss consensus by 8%, and has downwardly revised this year's and next year's operating profit projections by 9% and 11% respectively compared to previous estimates.
Even just a slowdown in earnings growth rate would raise concerns, but now a downward outlook has come out.
[https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-finance/2026/07/13/IFI2GIVIWJC53EGWSALIBAKTTE/](https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-finance/2026/07/13/IFI2GIVIWJC53EGWSALIBAKTTE/)
Hantou Securities cuts SK Hynix’s 2026 and 2027 operating profit forecasts by 9% and 11% respectively, expecting Q2 profit to miss consensus by 8%. Negative earnings revisions often precede price declines as the market reprices growth expectations, especially after a period of high investor optimism. Short SK Hynix ADR to capture downside from the earnings miss and lowered guidance. Consensus may already incorporate some weakness; actual results could surprise positively; memory chip cycle may rebound faster than expected.
