SK Hynix’s report of record profits and a memory backlog extending through 2029 confirms sustained, structural demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) driven by AI training workloads. This fundamental strength is reinforced by Vertiv’s 13.75% stock surge on doubled sales guidance and Nvidia’s $3 billion investment in Metê, validating the AI capex cycle. The narrative is shifting from speculative AI hype to tangible infrastructure build-out, benefiting memory makers, cooling solutions, and power management firms.
