Korea's chip giants are sitting on a record cash pile — and semiconductor ETF money is following just two names.
Combined cash at Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix is on track to jump by 117 trillion won this year, driven by the ongoing memory super-cycle. Samsung's cash reserves rose 51% and SK Hynix's 152% year-on-year. Investors are concentrating semiconductor ETF inflows in the sector's top two names rather than spreading exposure. Elsewhere, a consortium secured 450 billion won to accelerate a Swiss Grand Hotel-branded development, and Watcha absorbed content firm Kinolights.
