KB Securities: Micron Taiwan Strike Notice May Benefit Samsung, SK Hynix

KB Securities noted that a strike notice at Micron's Taiwan plant could tighten memory supply, improving spot pricing and negotiation leverage and indirectly benefiting Samsung and SK Hynix. As a brokerage view it may lift near-term sentiment for memory names, but whether the strike proceeds and its scale remain uncertain, limiting directional impact on SK Hynix's longer-term earnings.
