Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix saw gains following Nvidia's strong earnings, but pared back early momentum due to local rate hikes and Fed policy caution.
What Happened
Nvidia Earnings Surge: Nvidia reported a 106% year-over-year revenue increase for its fiscal Q2 2027, significantly beating market expectations. Both data center revenue and earnings per share exceeded consensus, underscoring robust demand in the AI semiconductor sector.
Market Performance: Shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix surged at the opening bell following the positive news from the US AI leader. However, both stocks retreated from their daily highs to close with gains of 1% and 2%, respectively.
Headwinds and Caution: Market sentiment was tempered by the Bank of Korea's 25bp interest rate hike and anticipation surrounding Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh's upcoming Jackson Hole speech. Heavy selling by retail investors offset buying pressure from foreign and institutional players.
Trading Dynamics: Foreign investors were net buyers of Samsung Electronics, ranking it as their top buy, while they offloaded SK Hynix shares. Retail investors showed significant selling pressure in the electronics sector, contributing to the narrowing of intraday gains.
