Retail Investors Dump Chip Stocks; Samsung, Hynix See First Net Selling in 5 Months

South Korean retail investors have started selling chip stocks, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix seeing their first net selling in five months. This could be profit-taking after recent gains or reflect concerns about a peak in the industry cycle. Short-term selling pressure may weigh on share prices, but if institutions or foreign investors step in, the medium-term impact could be limited.
