SK Square is showing strong momentum, recording an upward trend for six consecutive trading days. Expectations for a semiconductor industry recovery and expanded AI infrastructure investment centered on its core holding asset, SK Hynix, are converging to once again make SK Square's Net Asset Value (NAV) a key variable for its stock price as an investment company.

Surges 3%... Rises for 6th Consecutive Trading Day

On the afternoon of the 14th, SK Square is trading at 1,151,000 won, up 34,000 won (approximately 3.0%) from the previous day. In particular, it has been drawing an upward curve for six consecutive trading days, which is interpreted as a trend of strength rather than a temporary rebound.

Recently in the domestic stock market, there is a clear trend of capital expanding across the semiconductor and AI value chain, including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as well as SK Square. On the 12th, SK Square also showed strength due to an inflow of buying prompted by gains in U.S. semiconductor and AI-related stocks.

SK Hynix Is the Key Variable for SK Square

SK Square is an investment company that holds and manages semiconductor and ICT assets, and changes in the value of its holdings are directly reflected in its Net Asset Value (NAV) and stock price. In particular, the increase in demand for high-performance memory, such as High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), driven by the expansion of AI data centers, enhances the corporate value of SK Hynix, which naturally connects to SK Square.

The market views SK Hynix's earnings and HBM business competitiveness, as well as SK Square's NAV discount rate and shareholder return policy, as key checkpoints.

U.S. Indiana Fab Groundbreaking Ceremony Draws Attention

SK Hynix is scheduled to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its back-end semiconductor fab in the U.S. state of Indiana on the 27th. As global investment surrounding the AI semiconductor supply chain continues, the direction of SK Hynix's overseas production expansion is also a factor affecting the value of SK Square's holdings.

Short-Term Profit-Taking Pressure Also Needs Monitoring

However, six consecutive days of gains suggest that short-term profit-taking pressure could increase. Rather than concluding that the consecutive rise is a definitive signal for further gains, it is necessary to comprehensively check factors such as SK Hynix's stock price trends, semiconductor industry conditions, foreign and institutional supply and demand, and the discount level relative to NAV.

Whether the buying momentum will be sustained or short-term profit-taking volume will be released is the key checkpoint that will determine the next direction.
