Nvidia’s 5 Korea deals explained: what SK Hynix, Naver and LG gain Nvidia’s 5 Korea deals explained: what SK Hynix, Naver and LG gain Tech AI Sentiment: 78/100 Bullish This score is generated through AI-driven analysis of the article's content. Author Devesh Kumar Devesh K. Jun 08, 2026, 03:33 AM Generate Trading Ideas Generating powered by SK Hynix (000660.KS) Buy SK Hynix. Nvidia is locking in a multi-year tech partnership and already buys “billions” annually, with spending set to grow. The thesis is that HBM demand tied to Nvidia AI systems keeps rising, and SK Hynix shifts from commodity memory to customer-specific, higher-value supply. Key Risk: HBM demand growth slows (or Nvidia shifts memory sourcing), cutting expected revenue growth. Naver (035420.KS) Buy Naver. The Nvidia deal gives a clear AI-factory buildout path (55MW by early 2027) plus Nemotron Alliance support for HyperCLOVA X. Second-order: as Naver scales its own AI compute, it can lower unit costs and improve margins in generative AI/search—making the stock less dependent on ad-cycle recovery. Key Risk: AI infrastructure capex runs ahead of monetization, and Naver’s AI products fail to gain traction. Nvidia signs…
