On May 14, just weeks after Samsung Electronics surpassed the $1 trillion market value threshold, SK Hynix is also poised to enter this exclusive $1 trillion market value club. Driven by strong demand in the artificial intelligence sector, South Korea has become the epicenter of the current AI boom in Asia. After an astonishing 274% increase in 2025, SK Hynix's stock price has surged over 200% this year. If SK Hynix follows Samsung in crossing the $1 trillion market value threshold, South Korea will become the first market outside the United States to have more than two companies with market values exceeding $1 trillion. "The current market sentiment is primarily driven by 'fear of missing out' (FOMO), particularly evident in AI-related stocks in Japan and South Korea," said Fabien Yip, a market analyst at IG Group in Sydney.
