Chip stocks are going up. This is because of good news from big US companies like Micron Technology and Qualcomm. The South Korea stock market went up by 5%. A big South Korean company called SK Hynix went up by 10%. This happened because of bad news a few days ago. People were worried that some stocks were too expensive. But now people are happy because Micron said that people will buy $22 billion of their chips. Micron also said that they will make a lot of money. This made their stock go up by 12%. A man who helps choose investments said that the AI boom has been very good for companies that make memory chips like Micron. He said that before, these chips were not very important. But now, because of AI, people need these chips to make AI work better. So, the demand for these chips is very high.
Some people are excited about the future of these companies. Qualcomm said that they will make $15 billion from their data center business by 2029. They want to move away from making chips for smartphones and focus on AI. Another big South Korean company, SK Hynix, is planning to list on the stock market in New York. This could raise a lot of money, almost $30 billion. This would be the second biggest stock sale ever.
