SK Hynix (SKHY) under $130 looks interesting to me. The relative valuation gap TO CXMT feels surprisingly small.
After its first trading day, China’s CXMT closed roughly 466% above its IPO price, giving it a market cap around $484B. At a sub-$130 SKHY price, SK Hynix is worth roughly $730–750B.
So SKHY is at about 1.5x CXMT’s market cap.
But on current operating scale, SK Hynix is still much larger:
* SK Hynix Q1 2026 revenue: KRW 52.6T, roughly $35B
* CXMT Q1 2026 revenue: RMB 50.8B, roughly $7–7.5B
* That makes SK Hynix’s quarterly revenue about 5x CXMT’s
The bear case is obvious: memory is cyclical, CXMT may keep taking share, and China may assign a strategic premium to its domestic memory champion.
But I believe AI-memory demand remains durable and SK Hynix can hold a meaningful HBM lead, SKHY below $130 seems like a temporary dip.
