According to Financial News, on July 3, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix shares surged 8.22% and 10.88% respectively, rebounding sharply from the previous week's selloff. Samsung Electronics closed at 309,500 won, while SK Hynix climbed to 2.425 million won.
The rally was driven by strong second-quarter earnings expectations. Brokerage houses forecast Samsung Electronics' Q2 operating profit at 8.6 trillion won and SK Hynix at 6.9 trillion won. Samsung Electronics is scheduled to report its Q2 results on July 7, while SK Hynix's anticipated domestic ADR listing next week could attract additional overseas capital inflows.
