SK Hynix reported record-breaking earnings for the third quarter of 2025, with operating profit surging to 11.38 trillion won ($8.3 billion), a 62% year-over-year increase. This marks the first time the company's quarterly operating profit has surpassed the 10 trillion won milestone.
The explosive growth was driven by a powerful combination of rising DRAM and NAND prices and booming demand from the AI server market. Prices for DDR4 memory soared 40-50%, while high-value products like the company's 12-layer HBM3E and high-capacity server DDR5 saw shipments double sequentially. The company also achieved a net cash position of 3.8 trillion won, reflecting a significantly strengthened balance sheet.
Looking ahead, SK Hynix is well-positioned to continue its momentum. It has already completed development of next-generation HBM4 and is expanding production of its most advanced 1c-nm DRAM and 321-layer NAND chips to meet sustained demand.
