SK Hynix authorizes massive $29B buyback, betting on non-cyclical AI memory demand

SK Hynix ($SKHY) announced a $29 billion share buyback and cancellation, adjusting its policy to allocate "at least 50% of FCF" (up from "up to 50%"). With sustained demand from AI devices and humanoids, the memory market is becoming less cyclical. Management's aggressive buyback signals confidence in this structural shift, while the market, valuing the stock at a 4x forward P/E, has yet to fully believe it.
