Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), the leading chip manufacturer, closed at $108.80, up 7.67%. Shares rose after news reports yesterday of a possible tie-up with SK Hynix (NASDAQ:SKHY). They continued to rise today, even though the South Korean firm issued a statement saying that nothing has been finalized.
Trading volume reached 147.2 million shares, coming in about 35% above its three-month average of 109.0 million shares.
The S&P 500 closed at 7,638, up 1.14%, while the Nasdaq Composite finished at 26,418, up 1.69%. Among semiconductors, Advanced Micro Devices closed at $545.09, up 6.36%, and Qualcomm closed at $188.71, up 2.09%, as chip-sector strength and memory-share momentum lifted the group.
Chip stocks rallied today after a rough week in which interest rate hikes and tech leaders' calls for a slowdown in artificial intelligence (AI) development weighed on the sector. Intel got an extra boost from a deal that may not even materialize: Even a whisper that SK Hynix might, possibly, maybe lease part of its Ohio complex or enter into a joint venture proved tantalizing to investors.
The difficulty with these types of speculative price jumps is that they often aren't sustainable. SK Hynix saying it is "exploring various options" is a long way from signing a deal. More concrete news? Barclays upgraded the stock from "Underperform" to "Overweight." Ultimately, Intel is well-placed to benefit from growing AI demand, but finding a client for its foundry business -- whether or not that's SK Hynix -- would represent a significant win.

The often-teflon AI trade has officially been rattled.
AI stocks are getting absolutely crushed in premarket trading on Monday after Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) CEO Dario Amodei dropped a gloomy 3,800-word essay that rattled investor confidence across the entire semiconductor and AI infrastructure complex.
Momentum AI names took it on the chin, with Marvell (MRVL) and SK Hynix (SKHY) each down 7%, CoreWeave (CRWV), SanDisk (SNDK), Intel (INTC), and AMD (AMD) all off 6%, Micron (MU) and Super Micro (SMCI) down 5%.

US stock futures sank on Monday morning after the two leading frontier artificial intelligence companies called for an industrywide slowdown of AI development, sending tech stocks tumbling. Rising oil prices and an upcoming Fed meeting this week also put pressure on stocks.
Futures on the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 (NQ=F) fell 1.5%, led by losses in chip stocks, including Nvidia (NVDA). Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) fell 0.3%, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) declined by 0.6%. In Asia, shares of memory chip makers SK Hynix (SKHY) and Samsung (005930.KS) dropped.
Tech stocks were poised to fall after Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) CEO Dario Amodei wrote a 3,800-word essay over the weekend, arguing that AI companies should slow the pace of improving AI models in order to address safety concerns. Sam Altman, the CEO of rival AI lab OpenAI (OPAI.PVT), agreed in a post on X, putting the two AI companies at odds with Wall Street, which has banked on a brisk pace of improvement.
Worries about AI safety also led OpenAI to delay its initial public offering until 2027, Altman told Fortune. Anthropic still plans to list in the fall and has reportedly chosen the Nasdaq for its highly anticipated IPO.
Oil prices, meanwhile, continued to climb after Saudi Arabia shut down a key pipeline in the Middle East and as the war in the Middle East spread. Brent crude (BZ=F) traded near $108 per barrel.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the other major stock indexes fell Tuesday, with oil prices rising following an attack on Saudi Arabia by Iran-backed Houthis. Energy stocks jumped while software lagged. Meanwhile, memory-chip leader SK Hynix (SKHY) rallied on the stock market today, breaking out past a new buy point.
Stocks were under pressure in the first day of the shortened trading week, with the Dow industrials diving nearly 700 points. This equates to a 1.3% drop. Oil major Chevron (CVX) stood out with a 2% pop, putting shares back in a buy zone.
But Amgen (AMGN) plunged 9% and dropped to its 50-day moving average. It comes after a disappointing trial results for an experimental Novartis (NVS) cardiovascular treatment were seen as a negative indicator for the former firm's own fledgling heart treatment olpasiran. Novartis, not a blue chip stock, plummeted more than 13%.
The S&P 500 also felt the heat, dropping 0.4%. A majority of sectors were lower, with communication services and healthcare being hit the hardest. Energy and utilities were posting the best gains.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite was also being punished, falling 0.5%. Booking (BKNG) and Shopify (SHOP) lagged due to drops of more than 5% and around 8%, respectively. CoreWeave (CRWV) showed strength by rising more than 8%.

On August 13, 2026, CNBC reported that SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) is spending $720 billion on what it calls the largest network of memory factories in the world. This buildout is so large that South Korea's president is urging both SK Hynix and rival Samsung to add capacity even faster under a national plan to double the country's memory production within five years.
SK Hynix expects huge AI memory demand to stay strong permanently rather than follow the usual cycles of high sales and sudden crashes. That raises the real question: does this scale of investment lock in SK Hynix's lead for years or set up a painful oversupply problem if AI memory demand ever slows?
SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) controlled 58% of the high-bandwidth memory market in the first quarter, well ahead of Samsung and Micron at 21% each. Its market cap has jumped more than fivefold in the past year to top $1 trillion. The firm raised $26.5 billion in July by listing on the Nasdaq, the most ever raised by a foreign company on US markets. It has signed 10 long-term supply agreements with major customers, including a $500 billion co-development deal with Nvidia. SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won said demand is like "a war," with everybody wanting to buy memory chips.
However, SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY)'s Nasdaq-listed shares have already fallen about 21% from their July 14 high, closing recently at $154.41 amid broader AI-trade volatility. The buildout is so large it shrinks DRAM supply for ordinary consumer electronics, and Chey himself admitted "prices went up too fast," acknowledging the boom carries real excess.
Samsung is being pushed by the same government-backed national plan and could see a similar surge in shareholder returns. KB Securities ******* ysts expect more than a tenfold increase. A report that Singapore's Temasek plans to invest directly in Samsung sent its shares up 6.7% in a single day.

This timing is fascinating as the artificial intelligence infrastructure is gobbling more and more of high-performance memory and SK Hynix appears to be one of the companies to reap the benefits due to its leading position in high bandwidth memory (HBM).

Nvidia (NVDA) stock gained over 6% in early trading following its Q2 earnings on Wednesday, beating Wall Street's expectations on the top and bottom lines and providing a better-than-expected outlook for the third quarter.
For Q2, Nvidia reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.22 on revenue of $96.2 billion, better than the EPS of $2.09 and revenue of $92.3 billion that Wall Street was anticipating.
The company also says it is projecting Q3 revenue of between $105.8 billion and $110.1 billion. Wall Street was calling for $1.51 billion.
Nvidia's (NVDA) bullish outlook sparked a rally in tech stocks, offsetting weakness elsewhere. Semiconductor stocks like Intel (INTC) and SK Hynix (SKHY) also rose.

The red-hot memory chip rally may be back on thanks to Nvidia (NVDA).
"So the price increases [on memory chips] are astronomical. In some cases, you have secured, we call it capacity, but you actually don't know how many you're getting, and at what price," Nvidia CFO Colette Kress told Yahoo Finance moments after the tech giant's earnings call on Thursday.
The memory chip market has tightened considerably as demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and advanced dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) used in AI servers continues to outpace supply.
Companies such as SK Hynix (SKHY), Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), and Micron (MU) have largely sold out their premium AI memory capacity through much of 2026 as customers, including Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta (META), race to build AI infrastructure.
The shortage has pushed memory prices sharply higher and given suppliers greater pricing power after several years of weak industry conditions. Experts expect memory supply to remain constrained into 2027, creating a favorable backdrop for the industry's largest producers.

SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) announced a 40 trillion won, or approximately $28.6 billion, program to repurchase and cancel as many as 24.07 million common shares between August 20 and November 19. The shares represent approximately 3.3% of outstanding stock. The company's U.S.-listed ADSs initially gained nearly 4% on August 19 but closed only approximately 0.4% higher after falling 9% during the preceding session.
The timing creates the central tension. SK hynix has committed to return more than 50% of ***** ulative free cash flow generated from 2025 through 2027. For SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY), the question is whether that commitment reflects confidence in structural HBM demand or cash distribution near an unusually profitable point in the memory cycle.
SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) ended the second quarter with 69.4 trillion won of net cash after cash and short-term investments reached 88 trillion won, and debt declined to 18.6 trillion won. That position provides room to return capital while continuing its production expansion.
SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) will cancel the repurchased stock instead of retaining it as treasury shares. At unchanged profit, a 3.3% reduction in outstanding shares would lift earnings per share by approximately 3.4%. The economic payoff will ultimately depend on the purchase price and the returns the company could otherwise earn on the cash.
The program would also reverse the dilution from the July Nasdaq offering. SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) issued 177.9 million ADSs representing 17.79 million new common shares and generated gross proceeds of $26.51 billion before underwriting discounts and offering expenses. A completed 24.07 million-share cancellation would retire approximately 6.28 million more common shares than the offering created.
