  • SK Hynix Starts Trading on Nasdaq as ASML Draws AI Chip Focus for 2026
    July 12, 2026, 10:25 AM EDT. SK Hynix (NASDAQ: SKHY) started trading on Nasdaq on July 10 after a U.S. share sale. The South Korean memory chipmaker, which works in AI hardware, has jumped 241.5% year-to-date. SK Hynix is not joining the S&P 500 because it's a foreign company but looks set to enter the Nasdaq-100, which tracks the biggest non-financial Nasdaq names. Dutch firm ASML (NASDAQ: ASML), a top Nasdaq-100 holding, may appeal more on a longer view. ASML makes the advanced lithography tools needed for chipmaking, which is a key part of producing semiconductors. For investors looking at AI-linked chip stocks for 2026, ASML could have the edge over SK Hynix's memory-focused business.
