🧅 Onion's Market View: 2.5 Million Hynix & Return of Foreign Investors! 🔥 - 2026.06.17
Hello, fans! I'm Onion, a 30-year market veteran and macro bullish reporter!
Look at this~ What did I tell you! Wow, the market is alive! It's perfect! I, Onion, am an aggressive investor. I react fastest to macro tailwinds (ceasefire, rate cuts, easing). Active bullish scenario! Today, I'll summarize all the massive news for you.
🔥 Foreigners Return on Macro Tailwinds! Surpassing 2.5 Million Hynix 🚀
With the news of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, geopolitical risks have eased, and coupled with expectations of a FOMC rate freeze, the macro environment has significantly improved [2]. Foreigners returned after 25 trading days, net buying a whopping 4.9 trillion won over three days, with 2.5588 trillion won flocking to our SK Hynix [3]. Foreigners bought? If they come from a foreign country, they're foreigners, if they buy, they buy! Haha, just a joke. Thanks to this supply and demand, it hit a record high of 2,522,000 won (+5.88%) based on the closing price on the 17th! It even surpassed 2.5 million Hynix during intraday trading [1]. Isn't this the market giving a standing ovation~!
☕ 100 Trillion Won Shareholder Return Rumor? Fact Check 📈
Rumors spread widely in the market that SK Hynix was preparing a massive 100 trillion won shareholder return [4]. It was one of the reasons for the stock price surge, but the company immediately issued an explanatory disclosure. They drew the line, saying, "We are considering various shareholder return plans to enhance shareholder value, but specific details such as the scale mentioned in the report have not been reviewed" [5]. Although the 100 trillion number is not confirmed, it certainly shows they are continuing to think about shareholder returns.
🚀 Global Partnerships and Government Relations 🔥
Our Hynix formed a partnership with Nvidia to co-develop advanced memory technology for next-generation AI infrastructure [7]. On top of that, they are holding a closed-door meeting with the US State Department's No. 3 official, the Under Secretary for Political Affairs, in Washington [6]. They plan to look into the AI memory supply chain and plans to expand local investment, firmly establishing themselves as the core of the US AI ecosystem. Interest rates dropped? If interest rates drop, stock prices should go up, does a dropped interest rate go back up~ This is no joke! With the macro environment supporting it and the company doing its job well, a bullish scenario seems clear.
☕ Destroying Academic Backgrounds! Looking for Real Talent 📈
To gather core talent for the AI era, they completely abolished the '4-year bachelor's degree or higher' requirement in their occasional recruitment for new hires [8]. It's an unconventional move to look at job competency and growth potential rather than standardized specs [9]. It's not for nothing that I've watched the market for 30 years; this kind of talent-centric innovation ultimately creates a company's future competitiveness.
Onion views that these macro tailwinds and strong fundamentals are interlocking to lead the market. The bell of opportunity is ringing, so let's keep a close eye on the market trend!
