SK hynix said on an earnings conference call held April 23 for its 2026 first-quarter results that it expects shipments of both DRAM and NAND to rise in the second quarter.

The company said it anticipates DRAM shipments will increase by a high single-digit percentage from the previous quarter as it responds to demand for high-capacity server modules and mobile products. It added that NAND shipments are expected to rise by a mid-teens percentage quarter over quarter, driven by expanded sales of 321-layer-based products and enterprise SSDs.

SK hynix also addressed its capital markets strategy, saying it confidentially submitted a registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to a public offering for an ADR listing and is pursuing a U.S. market listing within the year.

It said details such as the offering size, structure and timing have not been finalized. The company said the final decision on whether to proceed with the listing will be made after considering the SEC’s review of the filing, market conditions, demand forecasting and other requirements. It added it will provide an update when specifics are confirmed.
