HBM Share Gap Narrows from 49% to 17% in a Year; HBM4 Is the Decider

Korean media reported that the HBM market share gap between SK hynix and its rivals has narrowed from 49 percentage points a year ago to 17 points, with the HBM4 generation set to be the next battleground. A narrower gap could pressure pricing power and order visibility, but if SK hynix maintains its technology lead in HBM4, it can still support high valuations and earnings expectations, making the long-term stock impact positive while the near-term direction is unclear.
