Analysts:SK SK Hynix abandons Solidigm's U.S.IPO plan, potentially benefiting Micron Technology and SanDisk

According to BlockBeats,October 24，LYNX Equity Strategies analyst KC Rajkumar's team October 23 stated that SK SK Hynix's abandonment of plans for its Solidigm unit to conduct an initial public offering in the United States (IPO) could benefit Micron Technology and SanDisk, as the decision reduces the risk of a future global oversupply of NAND flash memory.

The institution noted that Solidigm had originally planned to raise funds through a U.S. listing to support the expansion of NAND manufacturing capacity in the United States. The potential project could be jointly built by SK SK Hynix and Intel, with potential locations including Intel's Ohio campus. The additional capacity was expected to enter the market in 3 years or longer, potentially increasing global NAND supply and putting downward pressure on prices. With the IPO plan canceled, related expansion projects have lost a potential funding source, helping ease market concerns about future capacity growth.LYNX believes this is generally clearly positive for Micron and SanDisk's product pricing and valuations, although current market conditions may limit upside in their share prices; Intel, meanwhile, could face a modest negative impact from losing a potential manufacturing project.
