Details of SK Hynix Acquisition of Intel Flash Business

Micron has just upgraded its outlook for the current quarter from non-GAAP revenues of $5.0-$5.4 billion to revenues of $5.7-$5.75 billion.  This increase has been due to unanticipated end-demand strength that should benefit all DRAM and NAND flash makers.

Recent Kioxia developments, and in particular, the development of its Ethernet native SSDs for a EBOF and the KumoScale block, file and object storage container storage are innovations that could drive additional value for the company and help in getting a better price in a future IPO, when the overall NAND flash industry is in a more profitable part of its cycle.

Kioxia Announcements Enhance Company Value

In SK hynix' most recent earnings call the CEO shared his vision to grow the company to annual revenues of ₩100 trillion.  While the Intel flash acquisition helps in that direction, it is hard to see how management hopes to achieve its goal to build revenues to this level.
