Big Short Investor Adds to Memory Chip Shorts, SK Hynix Falls Over 4%

A well-known short-seller has further increased bearish positions in memory chips, sending SK Hynix shares down more than 4% in a single session. The move reflects doubts among some investors about the durability of the HBM and memory pricing upcycle, which could raise short-term volatility and selling pressure, though strong earnings and order data could later trigger a short-covering rebound.
