Strength to continue through 1H18

We raise our six-month-forward target price from KRW83,000 (1.4x 2018F BPS) to KRW105,000 (1.9x

12-month-forward BPS attributable to controlling interests) and maintain BUY. We now believe

Hynix’s 3Q consolidated revenue and operating profit will beat our previous forecasts by 1% and 3.5%

to stand at KRW7.9tn and KRW3.8tn, respectively, on the back of sharper-than-expected DRAM price

hikes. In 3Q, mobile DRAM’s share of revenue should grow backed by rising demand from China and

Apple. However, as the mobile DRAM price increase is relatively moderate compared with server and

PC DRAM prices, we believe 3Q results will be in line with consensus estimates.
