South Korea and Taiwan chipmakers are dominating the global AI supply chain as record earnings drive the KOSPI to double in six months. The rally pushed Samsung Electronics past a $1 trillion market capitalization for the first time. Investors are shifting capital to Asian hardware suppliers that generate immediate cash flow from AI infrastructure spending.
SK Hynix is approaching an $800 billion valuation. The chipmaker agreed to share 10% of annual operating profit with staff, which Reuters calculations suggest could yield $680,000 per worker by 2027.
