The volatile memory market is dominated globally by three giants: Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. Samsung, headquartered in South Korea, is one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers, strong not only in semiconductor memory but also in smartphones and displays, with a market capitalization of $1.2 trillion (approximately 191 trillion yen).
The stock market surge driven by the AI boom has also extended to the memory industry. Micron's stock price rose 124% in 2026, a 700% increase year-on-year, and in May 2026, its market capitalization surpassed $700 billion, placing it among the top 10 American companies by market capitalization.
Furthermore, an analyst at major investment bank UBS raised Micron's price target from $535 (approximately 85,200 yen) to $1,625 (approximately 259,000 yen), roughly tripling the target, which fueled buying and accelerated the momentum. On May 26, 2026, local time, its market capitalization reached $1 trillion. This is the first time in Micron's history that this has happened.
Furthermore, SK Hynix, another memory manufacturer alongside Micron, has also seen its stock price continue to rise, reaching a market capitalization of 1,592 trillion won (approximately 168 trillion yen) on May 27, 2026, a 9% increase from the previous day. Calculated using the exchange rate of 1 dollar = 1,504 won on that day, this is equivalent to 1.059 trillion dollars, meaning SK Hynix has also joined the 'trillion dollar club.' Notably, SK Hynix is the second company listed on the Korean market to join the 'trillion dollar club,' following Samsung, and the third in Asia, following Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer TSMC and Samsung.
According to companiesmarketcap.com, a market capitalization ranking site, NVIDIA is ranked number one at the time of writing with $5.204 trillion (approximately 830 trillion yen). Samsung is 11th, SK Hynix is 12th, the holding company Berkshire Hathaway is 13th, and Micron is 14th.
