AI Reshapes Korea Chip Investment; Materials and Back-End Rally Just Beginning

Analysts say AI demand is shifting Korea's chip investment focus from memory makers to materials and back-end packaging, with the related supply-chain rally still in its early stages. For SK Hynix this suggests gains for its equipment and materials suppliers, but also hints that value may spread to other parts of the chain. Near-term share impact is limited; the longer-term picture hinges on whether it keeps its lead in HBM and advanced packaging.
