    SK Hynix kills Solidigm's U.S. IPO after Korean regulators flag dual-listing shareholder protections

    South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service signaled a Solidigm U.S. listing would breach minority-shareholder rules, forcing SK Hynix to abandon the IPO and pursue alternative financing. The retreat lands as memory and AI infrastructure stocks face broad selling pressure—Nvidia fell 4.4%, AMD 8.1%, CoreWeave extended a 36% monthly decline—while Jensen Huang publicly dismissed an oversupply scenario through 2029. SK Hynix affirmed Solidigm's capital needs are unchanged, leaving the subsidiary's growth funding unresolved.

    Watch: Whether SK Hynix pursues private placement, strategic partnership, or debt financing for Solidigm—each path carries different dilution, governance, and valuation implications for the parent's minority shareholders.
