Memory pricing upside supports further upgrades.
Memory pricing will exceed current conservative estimates, driving upward earnings revisions for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The cycle is strong through year-end, with spot DRAM prices recovering and demand from major customers holding up. Both stocks have upside to price targets of 430,000 won (Samsung) and 275,000 won (SK Hynix), and further upward estimate revisions are likely.
