Original: 풍문또는보도에대한해명
Summary
SK Hynix has issued an official clarification in response to a July 22, 2026 Joongang Ilbo article headlined 'SK Hynix's Bold Bet… to Buy Intel's Ohio Factory in the U.S.' The company states it continuously evaluates various investment and acquisition opportunities as part of normal business operations. However, SK Hynix explicitly denied that it has pursued or made any decision to acquire Intel's Ohio land and fabrication facility. The clarification removes what would have been a significant capacity-expansion catalyst, particularly for U.S.-based advanced packaging and DRAM production. Investors should treat any prior market pricing of this deal as unfounded.
