What the price assumes: free cash flow compounding at ~46% a year for the next decade — vs the ~25% a year our model projects from current growth and analyst estimates.
Model-generatedGenerated by the Bull Rankings model from this company's reported fundamentals, and checked against the figures shown above.
Why now
SK hynix’s dominance in server‑grade DRAM is the engine that will keep compounding revenue at a breakneck pace, underpinned by a 46.8% YoY revenue growth, a razor‑thin 85.7% profit margin that fuels cash generation, and an eye‑popping 92.7% ROE that shows pricing power in the high‑margin data‑center market. The Bull Rankings model gives the stock a Quality‑Growth score of 72, with Growth as its strongest pillar, confirming that the business is a high‑quality compounder. Even the reverse‑DCF’s implied 43% annual free‑cash‑flow growth is in line with the current revenue surge, meaning the market has not fully priced in the next wave of server memory demand. The thesis rests on continued server‑memory adoption driving compounding cash flow.
Moat
The moat comes from SK hynix’s deep integration in server, networking and automotive memory supply chains, where customers face massive switching costs and require proven yield and reliability. Its DRAM and NAND flash fabs deliver scale economies that translate into the 92.7% ROE, a direct result of pricing power from being a tier‑1 supplier to hyperscale data‑center operators who cannot easily substitute the technology.
Risk
The biggest headwind is the extreme cyclicality of the data‑center market combined with a lofty valuation: a P/E of 20.6 and a reverse‑DCF assumption of 43% FCF growth far exceed the historical norm, while a beta of 2.41 makes the stock highly sensitive to any slowdown in server demand. A pull‑back in DRAM pricing or a shift to alternative memory architectures would crush margins and validate the bear view, triggering a price drop back toward the 52‑week low of $124.80.
Horizon
1-3 yr $246.97 (13-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $311.79 at ~14% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $399.87 if the moat survives secular pressure.

SKHY at a glance
Every figure here comes from the same audited fundamentals behind the score. Charts drawn from data the score does not use say so on the card.
Analyst estimate revisions

Forward EPS estimate
$33.71
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect SKHY to earn is materially higher (+12.3%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

SK hynix Inc. (SKHY): score, valuation & FAQ
SK hynix Inc. (SKHY) is a Semiconductors company that scores 72 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are FCF (A), Rev (A) and P/E (A). On valuation, SKHY sits about 188% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 46% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is SKHY a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores SKHY 72 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by FCF (A), Rev (A) and P/E (A). A score is a quantitative screen of SK hynix Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does SKHY score 72 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on growth at 97.5 out of 100, with value the weakest pillar at 79.9 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. SKHY earns its highest marks on FCF (A), Rev (A) and P/E (A). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so SKHY is measured against Semiconductors peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is SKHY overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $161.04, SKHY sits about 188% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 46% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 9.8x P/E (graded A). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in SKHY?
The biggest headwind is the extreme cyclicality of the data‑center market combined with a lofty valuation: a P/E of 20.6 and a reverse‑DCF assumption of 43% FCF growth far exceed the historical norm, while a beta of 2.41 makes the stock highly sensitive to any slowdown in server demand. A pull‑back in DRAM pricing or a shift to alternative memory architectures would crush margins and validate the bear view, triggering a price drop back toward the 52‑week low of $124.80.
