The typhoon is here—Hynix is saved!

Typhoon Bavi reaches level 17, with a level 7 wind circle of 400 km, directly hitting Samsung Pyeongtaek and Hynix Icheon.

A brief power outage for a few minutes scraps 12-inch wafers, and Japan’s photoresist is delayed for 2–3 days.

Korean fab track record:
2013 fire: DRAM +42%,
2016 fire: +300%,
2026 Pyeongtaek NAND: +25%. Samsung and Hynix have already locked down NAND capacity, with contracts up 33~38%.

A typhoon is a price-increase accelerator.

Entry:
Japan landing eats MU 950-990, while Korea pre-warning leads to adding Korean stocks. Stop loss: MU 920,

Samsung 270K, Hynix 2.1M.

Bavi turns and clears the position. The market doesn’t care how much the typhoon destroys—it cares how much more the Korean fabs end up making.
