SK Hynix accelerates the construction of the Longjing cluster in South Korea, with total investment in the first factory soaring to 31 trillion won. Phases two to six will simultaneously roll out five clean rooms, with the first clean room set to commence production ahead of schedule in February 2027. The company will also collaborate with over 50 enterprises to create a world-class ecosystem, aggressively locking in future victories with strong capital expenditures **SK Hynix is advancing its capacity layout in South Korea with a more aggressive capital expenditure pace**, locking in supply capabilities for high-performance, high-capacity semiconductors in advance against the backdrop of rapidly rising demand for artificial intelligence and data centers, while strengthening the stability of its supply system. According to Bloomberg, SK Hynix stated in regulatory filings and announcements that **it will invest 21.6 trillion won in the Yongin semiconductor cluster in South Korea, approximately 15 billion USD**, for the construction of its first factory, while simultaneously advancing the construction of five cleanroom facilities from the second to the sixth phase. The company has also raised its production pace expectations, **with the first cleanroom's operational date moved up from May 2027 to February 2027**, to respond more quickly to global customer demand and enhance operational flexibility amid future demand changes. For investors, this decision means the company **will signal the release of new production capacity earlier**, and the scale of investment in the first factory has been further elevated, with the overall investment in the Yongin cluster clearly indicated by the company to be "significantly increased," making capital expenditure and future supply pace a focus of market attention. ## Investment Framework: Advancing the First Factory and Simultaneously Rolling Out Cleanrooms from the Second to the Sixth Phase SK Hynix's investment will cover two main lines, **one is to complete the structural construction of the first factory, and the other is to build five cleanroom facilities from the second phase to the sixth phase.** The disclosed investment period is from March 2026 to December 2030. The company stated that this is a strategic investment decision aimed at **actively responding to the rapid growth of global customer demand and further enhancing the stability of the supply system.** ## **Production Pace: First Cleanroom Advanced to February 2027** SK Hynix has moved the operational date of the first cleanroom from May 2027 to February 2027. The company attributes this advancement to on-site safety and efficient process management. An earlier launch means entering the operational phase sooner, providing the company with greater flexibility to adjust in the face of future demand fluctuations, especially in **a demand upcycle to realize capacity expansion more quickly.** ## Capital Expenditure Increase: Total Investment in the First Factory Approximately 31 Trillion Won This investment of 21.6 trillion won will raise the cumulative investment scale for the construction of the first factory to approximately 31 trillion won. This total includes the 9.4 trillion won facility investment previously announced by the company in July 2024. The company also stated that **the expected investment scale for the Yongin cluster will be "significantly increased" compared to previous levels, emphasizing its commitment to expanding production ahead of schedule.** For the market, this reinforces the signal of "preemptive expansion," making cash flow and capital expenditure arrangements more visible in the coming years. ## Industrial Ecosystem: Plans to Introduce Over 50 Partner Companies to Create Cluster Synergy In addition to production lines and cleanroom construction, SK Hynix has proposed building an ecosystem involving over 50 semiconductor partner companies within the park, promoting growth through closer collaboration and synergy. **The company's goal is to develop the Yongin semiconductor cluster into a world-class semiconductor center leading the global market.** Under the dual objectives of demand-driven growth and supply chain stability, clustered investment will also become an important lever for its capacity expansion and supply system management ### Related Stocks - [XSD.US - SPDR S&P Semicon](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [SOXL.US - Direxion Semicon Bull 3X](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [FTXL.US - First Trust Nasdaq Food & Semicon](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FTXL.US.md) - [07709.HK - XL2CSOPHYNIX](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07709.HK.md) - [SOXX.US - iShares Semiconductor ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SMH.US - VanEck Semiconductor ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [PSI.US - Invesco Semiconductors ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSI.US.md) - [512480.CN - GTJA Allianz CSI All Share Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512480.CN.md) - [159546.CN - Guotai CSI All Share Integrated Circuit ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159546.CN.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | AMD 與 Meta 簽 5 年 AI 晶片訂單 股價升近 9% Meta 可買最多 1.6 億股 AMD | Meta 與 AMD 達成為期五年的合作協議，Meta 將購買 AMD 最新的 AI 晶片，算力最高達 6 吉瓦，交易價值超過 1,000 億美元。同時，Meta 可分階段購買最多 1.6 億股 AMD 股票，AMD 股價因此上漲近 9%。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276821466.md) | | Vestmark Advisory Solutions Inc. 增加了其在亞德諾公司 $ADI 的股票持有量 | Vestmark Advisory Solutions Inc. 在第三季度將其在亞德諾（Analog Devices, Inc.）的股份增加了 146%，目前持有 12,269 股，價值 3,014,000 美元。其他機構投資者也調整了他 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276744152.md) | | SK 海力士將投資 150 億美元在韓國龍仁建設新設施 | 據聲明顯示，SK 海力士將在韓國龍仁建設新設施，投資 21.6 萬億韓元（約 150 億美元）。風險提示及免責條款 市場有風險，投資需謹慎。本文不構成個人投資建議，也未考慮到個別用户特殊的投資目標、財務狀況或需要。用户應考慮本文中的任何意見 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276864528.md) | | 隨着 AI 內存競賽的升温，SK 海力士承諾投入 150 億美元用於新的芯片生產線 | SK 海力士計劃到 2030 年投資約 151 億美元，在韓國龍仁建立新的芯片生產線。此次投資旨在滿足由於人工智能工具和數據中心的興起而推動的半導體需求增長。該公司預計對高端內存芯片的需求強勁，這與韓國在龍仁發展主要芯片中心的戰略相一致。C | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276875253.md) | | 三星電子–邁向 “萬億美元俱樂部” | 大摩調升三星目標價至 24.8 萬韓元並列為首選股。DRAM 超級定價週期料延續至 2027 年，疊加 HBM 份額飆升，三星正迎來史上最大規模盈利復甦。萬億美元公司在觸及這一市值里程碑後，往往繼續跑贏大盤。大摩預測三星利潤將於 2027 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276852510.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
