Svmuujust weeks after Samsung Electronics surpassed the $1 trillion market cap mark, SK Hynix is also poised to enter this trillion-dollar club. Driven by robust demand in the artificial intelligence sector, South Korea has become the epicenter of the AI boom in Asia. Following a staggering 274% surge in 2025, SK Hynix's stock has soared more than 200% further this year. Once SK Hynix follows Samsung across the $1 trillion market cap threshold, South Korea will become the first market outside the United States to boast more than two companies with valuations exceeding $1 trillion. "The current market is heavily driven by FOMO sentiment, which is particularly evident in AI-related concept stocks in Japan and South Korea," said Fabien Yip, market analyst at Sydney-based IG Group.
