SEOUL: SK Hynix<\/a>, the world's No.2 memory chip maker, posted a 298% jump in fourth-quarter profit, ahead of expectations, as a better-than-expected rise in chip shipments offset lower chip prices and forecast solid demand this year.
For 2021, SK Hynix<\/a> said demand for server and mobile DRAM products, which go into devices<\/a>, will remain high as global companies invest in new data centers and due to brisk 5G smartphone<\/a> shipments. But supplies are expected to fall short of demand as the industry will see limited supply increase, the company said.
In NAND<\/a> memory chips that serve the data storage market, it expected the market to recover from the second half of the year, as customers use up inventory and start to ramp of their adoption of high-capacity chips.
The South Korean company, which counts Apple Inc<\/a> among its customers, reported an operating profit of 966 billion won ($868 million) in October-December, up from a low base of 242 billion won a year earlier.
That beat a Refinitiv Smartestimate for a 926 billion won profit. The Smartestimate, which gives more weight to consistently accurate analysts, was drawn from 20 analysts.
Fourth-quarter revenue rose 15% to 8 trillion won.
SK Hynix said the average selling price for DRAM chips during the fourth quarter dropped 7% while the average selling price for NAND<\/a> chips fell 8%.
The coronavirus pandemic and a global shift to remote work is driving demand for advanced chips to power premium devices<\/a>.
Analysts expect further profit gains for SK Hynix this quarter on a rebound in chip prices, helped by investments in U.S. data centres, brisk sales of Apple's iPhone 12 and new launches of 5G-capable smartphones.
The supply of DRAM chips in particular is tight due to the greater-than expected pickup in demand and under-investment in manufacturing facilities owned by Asian firms.
Larger rival Samsung Electronics<\/a> on Thursday also forecast solid demand for chips this quarter, and expected DRAM prices to rebound in the first half of the year from mobile and server clients' demand.

SK海力士第四季度利润激增4倍强劲的芯片出货量
2021年SK海力士说,对服务器和移动DRAM产品的需求,进入设备,将居高不下,随着全球公司投资于新数据中心,由于快5 g智能手机出货量。但供应预计将达不到需求随着行业将供应有限的增加,该公司表示。

首尔:SK海力士全球第二大内存芯片制造商,公布第四季度利润增长298%,之前预期,因为芯片出货量预期上升抵消今年芯片价格下降和需求预测固体。
2021年,SK海力士说对服务器和移动DRAM产品的需求,而去设备,仍将是跨国公司投资新数据中心和轻快的5 g智能手机发货。但供应预计将达不到需求随着行业将供应有限的增加,该公司表示。
在与非内存芯片数据存储市场,预计下半年的市场恢复,当客户使用库存和开始坡道的采用高容量的芯片。
韩国公司苹果(aapl . o:行情)在其客户,报道的营业利润9660亿韩元(8.68亿美元)10,高于上年同期的2420亿韩圆的基数较低。
超过一个Refinitiv Smartestimate 9260亿赢得利润。Smartestimate,赋予更多的重量一致准确的分析师,是来自20位分析师。
第四季度营收增长15%,至8万亿韩元。
SK海力士说,DRAM芯片的平均售价在第四季度下降了7%,而平均售价与非芯片下跌了8%。
冠状病毒大流行和全球需求驱动转向远程工作先进芯片溢价设备。
分析师预计进一步本季度利润收益SK海力士的芯片价格反弹,得益于投资美国数据中心,苹果的iPhone销售12款新推出的5 g智能手机。
特别是DRAM芯片的供应紧张由于大于预期增长需求和投资不足亚洲公司旗下的生产设施。
规模更大的竞争对手三星电子周四本季度也预测固体对芯片的需求,和预期DRAM价格在今年上半年反弹从服务器移动和客户的需求。
