SK hynix, with over 1 million small shareholders, officially ushers in the "Million Hynix" era

The number of small shareholders in SK Hynix has surged dramatically, surpassing 1 million. This is due to the recovery of the semiconductor industry and the rising stock prices in the economic environment.

According to SK Hynix’s recent “2025 Business Report,” the number of small shareholders at the end of the fiscal year was 1,186,328. This represents an increase of 405,461 compared to the end of the previous year, with 63.34% of SK Hynix shares held by small shareholders.

This change is driven by the recovery momentum in the semiconductor market and SK Hynix’s outstanding performance. In recent years, stock prices have continued to rise; in October last year, the stock price broke through 420,000 won, and the market capitalization exceeded 300 trillion won. Earlier this year, the stock price reached 1 million won intraday, earning the nickname “Million Hynix.”

To match these achievements, SK Hynix is implementing various measures to enhance shareholder value. Last year, operating profit reached 47.2063 trillion won, and the company decided to set a dividend of 3,000 won per share for the 2025 fiscal year, returning a total of 21 trillion won to shareholders. Additionally, the company plans to cancel 15.3 million treasury shares to increase per-share value.

This trend of shareholder growth is likely to continue in the future. The prospects of the semiconductor industry combined with SK Hynix’s growth are expected to continue attracting individual investors’ attention.
