Samsung, SK Hynix Expand Fabs; KRW 54tn Spend Spotlights Hidden Winners

This signals the memory giants' confidence in long-term demand, but higher near-term capex could pressure free cash flow. For stocks, it's positive for equipment makers, while memory makers face depreciation burdens, making the overall impact neutral.
