South Korean memory chipmaker SK Hynix has filed for a Nasdaq listing valued at $29 billion, with the offering targeted for next month. If completed at that scale, it would rank among the largest technology IPOs of 2026.
The filing comes amid a global shortage of memory chips that has tightened supply across the industry. SK Hynix is one of the world’s leading producers of memory used in computers, mobile devices and data-center hardware.
A listing of this size would provide the company with substantial capital at a time of strong demand for memory components, driven in part by investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure. The timing aligns the fundraise with favorable sector conditions.
The planned IPO reflects broader momentum in semiconductor markets, where supply constraints have lifted prices and underscored the strategic importance of memory production. Investors are likely to watch the offering closely as a barometer of appetite for chip-sector listings.
