On August 20, the Nikkei 225 index surged significantly on Thursday, following measures taken by the U.S. to stabilize the bond market, which boosted investor sentiment and redirected funds toward risk assets. The Japanese stock market experienced widespread gains, with 182 of the Nikkei 225 constituent stocks rising, 42 falling, and 1 remaining unchanged. The biggest gainer among the index constituents was Sumitomo Metal Mining, which rose by 10.76%, followed by Sumitomo Pharma with an increase of 8.48%; Kansai Electric Power rose by 8.37%, marking its largest single-day gain since August 2024. Nomura Securities equity strategist Wataru Akiyama stated that the decline in yields was undoubtedly a key factor driving the market's rise today. Notably, individual stocks and sectors that had previously lagged behind the gains of AI and semiconductor-related stocks also showed significant increases.

On August 20, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan stated SK Hynix may add at least $130 billion in shareholder returns before 2027. The company previously announced a stock buyback plan worth 40 trillion won (approximately $29 billion) and plans to increase the proportion of cumulative free cash flow allocated to shareholder returns from 'no more than 50%' to 'at least 50%' for the period from 2025 to 2027. JPMorgan analyst Jay Kwon noted in a report that the key to the 40 trillion won buyback plan is SK Hynix's commitment to raising the upper limit of shareholder returns. Under the new return policy, the company is expected to generate 'at least 180 trillion won in additional shareholder returns' by 2027, equivalent to 16% of the company's current total market value, which is expected to support the stock price after recent declines. Kwon stated, 'We believe the worst is behind us, and we expect sentiment around the stock price to gradually improve in the medium term, recommending investors to increase their holdings.' He added that the announcement of this buyback plan came earlier than the market expected. SK Hynix's stock price rose by as much as 13% on Thursday on the Korea Exchange. The company previously announced plans to buy back and cancel up to 24 million shares, which would become the largest stock cancellation plan in the history of Korean listed companies. The rise in SK Hynix also bolstered the Korean Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI), with competitor Samsung Electronics' stock price rising by as much as 10%. The market believes that further increases in shareholder return expectations may drive a rebound in Korean memory chip stocks. Recently, the memory sector has seen a pullback due to market concerns over the sustainability of AI investments and competitive pressures from China. Currently, SK Hynix's stock price remains over 40% lower than the historical high reached in June.
