Following this news, ASML's stock rose over 4% in pre-market trading on Monday, with other semiconductor equipment manufacturers also seeing their stock prices increase. ASML is the only company in the world that has achieved commercial production and sales of EUV lithography machines. These devices can engrave precise nanoscale circuit patterns on silicon wafers. ASML's major clients include TSMC (TSM.US), Intel (INTC.US), and Samsung Electronics. In February of this year, reports indicated that ASML stated its next-generation chip manufacturing equipment is ready for manufacturers to begin large-scale production. The new generation of equipment is priced at approximately $400 million per unit, about twice the price of the first-generation EUV lithography machines. Meanwhile, SK Hynix has disclosed more details about its plans for a U.S. listing. According to the latest regulatory documents, SK Hynix will launch a U.S. listing plan with a financing scale of approximately $28 billion on Monday. Riding the current artificial intelligence (AI) wave, this issuance will become one of the largest IPOs in history. The listing will be conducted in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), opening a direct entry channel for U.S. investors while retaining its original listing status on the Korean Exchange. SK Hynix will issue 17.79 million new shares through ADRs on NASDAQ. Every 10 ADRs will represent one share of common stock of Hynix. After listing on NASDAQ, SK Hynix is expected to be included in the NASDAQ-100 Index, attracting passive capital inflows into the stock and pushing its valuation closer to that of its U.S. peers. As one of the biggest beneficiaries of the global AI boom, SK Hynix's stock performance has outperformed its main competitors, Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology. Regulatory documents also indicate that the final issuance price for SK Hynix's listing will be determined on Thursday, with the stock officially trading on Friday. The company's management will conduct a global investor roadshow this week. In terms of fundraising scale, this issuance is expected to rank as the second-largest IPO in history, second only to SpaceX's record-setting $85.7 billion IPO last month, and higher than Saudi Aramco's $25.6 billion IPO in 2019. Although SK Hynix's fundraising scale is far less than SpaceX's, its U.S. listing performance is seen as the next important indicator of market trends, making it a focal point in the global capital markets this week. Meanwhile, with multiple negative news, including Meta's plans to lease and sell computing power, the U.S. chip sector has recently faced significant selling pressure. At this critical juncture, SK Hynix's listing performance in the U.S. may provide important insights for investors to assess the direction of the AI bull market ### Related Stocks - [.NDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.NDX.US.md) - [ASML.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ASML.US.md) - [ASMG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ASMG.US.md) - [07709.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07709.HK.md) - [PSQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSQ.US.md) - [03121.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03121.HK.md) - [QLD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QLD.US.md) - [TQQQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TQQQ.US.md) - [EWY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EWY.US.md) - [QID.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QID.US.md) - [SQQQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SQQQ.US.md) - [QYLD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QYLD.US.md) - [JEPQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JEPQ.US.md) - [QQQI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QQQI.US.md) - [ASMU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ASMU.US.md) - [TSM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSM.US.md) - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [SSNGY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SSNGY.US.md) - [MU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MU.US.md) - [META.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/META.US.md) - [SMSN.UK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMSN.UK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Why Is SK Hynix’s Stock Price Falling Instead of Rising as It Prepares for a US Listing?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/291910719.md) - [SK Hynix to List on Nasdaq on July 10, Poised to Set Record for Overseas Company Listing in US](https://longbridge.com/en/news/291911044.md) - [QYLD’s $10,000 problem: How a covered-call ETF left investors with a fraction of Nasdaq gains](https://longbridge.com/en/news/291737191.md) - [Netherlands looks to move past Nexperia dispute with China, Dutch minister says](https://longbridge.com/en/news/291958745.md) - [China's memory chip gap with Samsung, SK Hynix narrowed to under three years: Counterpoint](https://longbridge.com/en/news/291877376.md)
