Analysis · SKHY · Manufacturing
The memory upcycle is still running at full throttle on the top line, with SK hynix's preliminary third-quarter results showing revenue of 104.6 trillion won and operating profit of 83.3 trillion won—both quarterly records and roughly 7x and 7.3x the year-ago figures. The wrinkle sits below the operating line: pre-tax profit fell 58.7% from Q2's 122.7 trillion won, implying a large non-operating swing (Q2 carried a 3.98 trillion won non-cash derivatives loss from exchangeable bond exercises, so the comparison base is distorted in both directions). Net profit of 39.8 trillion won is down 57.7% QoQ but still up 215.7% YoY. For holders, the operating line is the number that matters for the memory thesis; the net line is where the quarter looks softer. These are unaudited provisional figures and may change.
