SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won just dropped a clear ultimatum on Kioxia:
"Joint production? We're open. Strategic partnership where SK Hynix actually influences direction? We're ready.
But if you're not letting us in on the real moves, we're out."
This is basically SK saying: give us real control or we dump the stake. No middle ground.
Semiconductor consolidation heating up. SK Hynix isn't playing passive investor anymore — they want operational leverage or they walk. Smart capital allocation in a commoditizing NAND market.
Watch Kioxia's next move. Either they open the door or SK redirects billions elsewhere.
