SK Hynix stock (ISIN KR7000660001) rose 6.42 percent to 1.857 million won on September 19, 2026, after Nvidia chief Jensen Huang's upbeat chip-sales comments helped lift AI memory sentiment. In the same session, the stock added 112,000 won and set a fresh near-term trading reference.

AI memory keeps driving

As MoneyToday reported on September 19, 2026, the rally followed Nvidia chief Jensen Huang's comments on future chip sales, which fed optimism around high-bandwidth memory demand. The report said SK Hynix added 112,000 won and closed at 1.857 million won.

That move matters because SK Hynix remains tied to AI memory spending, and the share price response was larger than Samsung Electronics' 3.37 percent gain to 261,000 won in the same market backdrop, according to BusinessToday Malaysia on September 19, 2026.

Broker views stay bullish

According to TipRanks on September 18, 2026, J.P. Morgan analyst Harlan Sur resumed coverage with a Buy rating and a price target of $2,250. The same report pointed to SK Hynix as part of the AI memory group that has attracted renewed buying interest.

MarketBeat said on September 18, 2026 that SK Hynix has an average Buy rating and an average target price of $247.67, while one buy rating in the same note carried a $320.00 target. That leaves the stock trading with a clear gap to the higher target set in the latest coverage, and it keeps valuation in play for investors.

Market close and levels

SK Hynix closed at 1.857 million won on September 19, 2026, after trading as high as 1.880 million won in early action on the same session. The move followed a prior close of 1.745 million won and came with a gain of 112,000 won, or 6.42 percent.
