AI Chip Stocks Lose $1 Trillion; Samsung, SK Hynix Hit by Triple Woes

AI chip stocks have lost about $1 trillion in market value, with Samsung and SK Hynix facing a triple whammy of Chinese competition, a 2029 oversupply warning, and fears of overheating US AI investment. This has worsened selling sentiment in the memory sector, pressuring SK Hynix shares in the short term, while the long-term impact depends on whether AI demand can absorb new capacity.
