Samsung, SK Hynix Announce $516B Chip Expansion, ASML Surges 6.8% to Record High

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix announced plans on June 30 to build two new chip manufacturing facilities in South Korea with a combined investment of 800 trillion Korean won (approximately $516 billion), sparking a rally in semiconductor equipment stocks. ASML rose 6.8% to a record high in Amsterdam, while applied materials and KLA each surged more than 5% during the session. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX), which includes all three companies, climbed 7.5% over the two-day period, as investors expect the South Korean expansion to drive increased equipment purchasing from chipmakers.
