South Korean semiconductor manufacturer SK Hynix saw its shares rise about 13% on their first trading day after completing the largest-ever share sale by a foreign company in the United States. The company raised $26.5 billion by pricing its shares at $149 each, capitalizing on robust investor demand for artificial intelligence (AI) related stocks.

SK Hynix plans to allocate the newly raised funds toward building new production facilities and acquiring advanced chipmaking equipment, aiming to expand its manufacturing capabilities. This strategic move aligns with the growing global demand for AI technologies.

The share sale took place in New York and marks a significant milestone for the South Korean chipmaker in accessing international capital markets.
