00:00SK shareholders, were you surprised when you checked your accounts today?
00:03SK Hynix, SK Square, and even the holding company SK, all tumbled one after another.
00:10There's been talk that Solidame, SK Hynix's U.S. subsidiary,
00:14is planning to push for a NASDAQ listing next year.
00:16The company says that no specific plan has been confirmed yet.
00:21The market values the company up to as much as $204 trillion won.
00:25If the deal goes through, it could become the largest ever U.S. semiconductor IPO.
00:30But then why did the stock price fall?
00:32It's because of concerns about duplicate listings right away.
00:35If the grandchild company were listed separately,
00:38the worry would grow that the value of the parent company's equity could be diluted.
00:42Plus, today even Samsung Electronics fell by nearly 5%,
00:46and semiconductor stocks overall were weak.
00:49Is Solid Hynix listing a good sign or a bad omen?
00:52Let us know what you think in the comments.
