With the continuous rise in demand for artificial intelligence technologies, a new record has been set in semiconductor (chip) production. The market value of South Korea's "SK Hynix" and the US-based "Micron Technology" has exceeded 1 trillion US dollars, signaling new developments in the global economy.
Recently, large-scale transformations in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly increased the investment value of companies producing chips in this sector. The stock price of "SK Hynix" rose by 14.9 percent, resulting in a total market value of 1.68 quadrillion won or 1.12 trillion US dollars.
South Korea in second place
The Republic of Korea is currently recorded as the second country in the world after the US to have more than one company with a market value exceeding 1 trillion dollars. As a reminder, "Samsung Electronics" also managed to cross the $1 trillion milestone on May 6.
Thus, competition and technological advancements in the semiconductor market are pushing the financial levels of the world's largest companies to new heights. The fact that "Micron Technology" also crossed the $1 trillion threshold on June 2 confirms that chip production is currently one of the most strategic and profitable industries of the era.
