Funds Rotate to Supply-Chain Stocks as Samsung, SK Hynix Lag

With Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix shares lagging, funds rotated into semiconductor supply-chain names, with one jumping 40% in a session. The industry outlook remains positive, but investors are positioning first in upstream equipment, materials and packaging to capture spillover from memory capacity expansion and HBM ramp-up. For SK Hynix, this suggests its recent gains are being digested and capital rotation may cap upside, yet the supply-chain boom itself confirms strong memory demand, keeping medium-term fundamentals favorable.
