SK Hynix (000660.KS): Oversupply concerns groundless until 1H18

  • 3Q consolidated revenue beat our estimate by 2.5% at KRW8.1tn on higher-than-expected RAM bit growth.
  • DRAM price movements will remain a decisive factor of earnings and price performance.
  • DRAM makers, especially Chinese names, should continue to increase their inventories until 1H18 to capitalize on further DRAM price hikes. As such, we do not believe DRAM oversupply will materialize in 2018.
