Kospi slips 7% after hot streak, led by Samsung and SK Hynix

South Korea’s Kospi tumbled about 7% after a holiday, ending its run as the world’s top performer for 2026. The retreat was led by heavy losses in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, with foreign investors net-sellers over the last two sessions (outflows near 7 trillion won at end-February and about 5.4 trillion won on Tuesday). A weaker won, rising crude prices, and risk-off sentiment weighed on sentiment, though the index remains up around 37% year-to-date and 128% over the past year, with regulators briefly suspending program trading during the session.

ASML bookings soar as SK Hynix plans bold capex push

ASML reported fourth-quarter bookings of €13.16 billion, up 86% and well above estimates, as AI-related demand boosted both memory and logic‑chip equipment. The Netherlands‑based company posted €2.89 billion profit on €9.72 billion in sales, guided 2026 sales to €34‑39 billion with a 51‑53% gross margin, and unveiled a buyback of up to €12 billion through 2028 plus a 17% dividend increase to €7.50 a share. In the same period SK Hynix signaled a substantial increase in capital expenditure after a 90% rise in Q4 profit and a 66% jump in revenue, driven by AI workloads and memory demand; both companies reflect a robust AI‑driven semiconductor cycle.
