Your Samsung and SK Hynix shares just lived through a wild week of record chip prices and heavy foreign selling.
Server memory prices surged 5.5-fold over the past year, pushing Samsung toward a potential first-ever 100 trillion won quarterly profit. Yet foreign investors sold nearly 12 trillion won of Korean stocks in six sessions, more than 93% of it in Samsung and SK Hynix. Both companies are running large buyback programs to support their share prices. Analysts see October's earnings season as the next test for whether the stocks break out of their recent trading range.
