Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.
Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 27, 2026, 9:41 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

SK Hynix just pulled off something no foreign company has ever done before. The South Korean memory chip maker raised approximately $26.5 billion through its American Depositary Receipt offering, priced at $149 per share, making it the largest US listing by a foreign company in financial history.
The offering, which landed on July 8-9, was more than 7x oversubscribed by long-only institutional investors.
Cramer’s take: cheap, but proceed with caution
Jim Cramer broke down SK Hynix’s positioning in the global memory industry, and his verdict was characteristically split between enthusiasm and pragmatism. He noted the stock is trading at roughly 7x 2026 earnings estimates, a discount he directly linked to the explosion in AI-related spending.
But Cramer wasn’t ready to go all-in. He advised investors to start with small positions, pointing to the historical boom-bust cycles that define the memory chip market. His warning about potential supply surpluses in the future isn’t hypothetical fear-mongering. It’s pattern recognition.

Why AI is rewriting the memory chip playbook
SK Hynix is a dominant producer of high-bandwidth memory, the specialized chips that AI accelerators need to function. Every time NVIDIA ships a new GPU for data center training, it needs HBM to go with it.
Recent earnings from Micron and forward guidance from NVIDIA both point in the same direction: demand for advanced memory is accelerating, not plateauing. These signals suggest an uptick in earnings estimates for SK Hynix, which could make that 7x multiple look even more attractive in hindsight.
