HBM is the most slept-on AI play right now.
Everyone's obsessed with GPUs but missing the real bottleneck: High-Bandwidth Memory.
$SKHY / SK Hynix is criminally undervalued. Here's why:
HBM costs MORE than Nvidia's logic die
In an H100, HBM stack runs ~$1,350 vs $300 for the logic die. That's 40-50% of total component cost. SK Hynix controls >50% of HBM market share and sits directly inside Nvidia's supply chain with insane pricing power.
Supply can't keep up
Next 5 years: HBM supply grows ~6x but demand explodes ~10x. Fabs take years to build. This structural deficit isn't getting fixed. Fat margins locked in through end of decade.
Valuation is broken
Semiconductor peers trade 20-30x forward P/E. S&P 500 averages 18-22x. SK Hynix? Trading at ~5.5x forward P/E. The Korean stock hasn't even started its real run yet. Massive asymmetry between earnings power and price.
SK Hynix isn't competing with Nvidia—it's capturing value alongside them in the hardware stack. Supply locked, valuation compressed. This is deep accumulation territory for the AI supercycle.
