SK hynix Presents Next-Gen NAND Product Strategy at 2025 OCP
News Highlights
- The company presented the ‘AIN Family’ which consists of NAND solution products optimized for performance(P), bandwidth(B), and density(D) respectively for AI
- SK hynix held ‘HBF Night’ to expand the ‘AIN B’(HBF product) ecosystem with a number of global big tech officials in attendance
- Company will collaborate closely with customers and partners to become a key player in the next generation NAND storage market
Seoul, October 27, 2025
SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it presented its next-generation NAND storage product strategy at the ‘2025 OCP (Open Compute Project) Global Summit’, held in San Jose, California, from October 13 to 16.
SK hynix said that, with the rapid growth of the AI inference market, the demand for NAND storage products capable of process large volume data quickly and efficiently is increasing dramatically. The company will fulfill customer needs by establishing the ‘AIN (AI-NAND) Family’ lineup of solution products, optimized for the AI era.
Chunsung Kim, Head of eSSD Product Development, presenting on the AIN lineup Chun Sung Kim, Head of eSSD Product Development at SK hynix, presented the AIN Family during the Executive Session on the second day of the event.
The AIN Family consists of NAND solution products optimized for performance, bandwidth, and density respectively which is designed to enhanced data processing speed and storage capacity.
AIN P (Performance) is a solution to efficiently process large volume data generated under large-scale AI inference workloads. The product significantly boosts processing speed and energy efficiency by minimizing the bottleneck between storage and AI operations. SK hynix is designing NAND and controllers with new structures and plans to release samples by the end of 2026.
AIN D (Density) is a high density solution designed to store large amount of data with low power consumption and cost suitable for storing AI data. The company targets to increase density to petabyte (PB) level from terabyte (TB) of current QLC1-based SSDs, and to aim for mid-end storage solution which implements both the speed of SSD and the cost efficiency of HDD.
1QLC: NAND flash is categorized as single-level cell (SLC), multi-level cell (MLC), triple-level cell (TLC), QLC, and penta-level cell (PLC) depending on how many data bits can be stored in one cell. As the amount of information storage increases, more data can be stored in the same volume.
AIN B (Bandwidth) is SK hynix’s solution leveraging HBFTM2 technology. This product expands bandwidth by vertically stacking multiple NANDs.
2HBF (High Bandwidth Flash): Similar to HBM which stacks DRAM dies, HBF is a product which is made by vertically stacking multiple NAND flash.
SK hynix delivering presentations at the OCP Global Summit 2025 With global top level HBM development and production capabilities, SK hynix has been conducting researches on AIN B from early stage to address the memory capacity gap driven by the expansion of AI inference and scaling up of LLMs3. The key is to combine HBM’s stacking structure with high density and cost efficient NAND flash. The company is taking various strategies for AIN B into consideration, such as placing together with HBM to enhance overall system capacity.
3LLM (Large Language Model): An AI model trained on massive datasets that understands and generates natural language processing tasks.
SK hynix jointly hosted ‘HBF Night’ with Sandisk, after both parties entered an MOU for HBF standardization in August, to expand the technology ecosystem. The event was held at The Tech Interactive, near the OCP Global Summit venue, on the 14th.
At the event, a panel discussion featuring Korean and foreign faculty members was held, with the participation of numerous industry architects4 and engineers participated. During the event, a collaborative effort across the industry was proposed to accelerate innovation in NAND storage products.
4Architect: Semiconductor, system design experts
“Through OCP Global Summit and HBF Night, we were able to showcase SK hynix’s present and future as a global AI memory solution provider, thriving in a rapidly evolving AI market,” Ahn Hyun, President and Chief Development Officer said. “In the next generation NAND storage market, SK hynix will collaborate closely with customers and partners to become a key player.”

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: LifeTech Scientific Corporation is an investment holding company that develops, manufactures, and trades interventional medical devices for cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases globally, with a market cap of HK$9.87 billion.
Operations: The company’s revenue is derived from its Structural Heart Diseases Business (CN¥527.87 million), Peripheral Vascular Diseases Business (CN¥762.08 million), and Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology Business (CN¥37.63 million).
Market Cap: HK$9.87B
LifeTech Scientific’s financial health is bolstered by its short-term assets of CN¥2.6 billion, which comfortably cover both short and long-term liabilities, indicating strong liquidity. Despite a significant one-off loss impacting recent earnings, the company remains debt-free, alleviating concerns over interest coverage. However, profitability has declined with net profit margins dropping to 5.4% from 19.4% last year. Recent approval for an innovative congenital heart defect occluder could enhance its product portfolio and market position in medical devices, potentially offsetting negative earnings growth trends observed over the past year and five years respectively.

Robust Revenue Growth Amid Economic Challenges
This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
Release Date: October 23, 2025
For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
-
Akbank TAS (AKBTY) reported a 17% year-on-year increase in net income, reaching 38,908 million, with a return on equity (ROE) of 20.4%.
-
The bank achieved a 48% year-on-year growth in revenue, driven by robust fee generation and renewed net interest income (NII) momentum.
-
Akbank TAS (AKBTY) captured 90 basis points of market share in business banking loans among private banks, demonstrating targeted focus on growth segments.
-
The bank’s securities portfolio showed a balanced approach with a focus on yield maximization, achieving a 21% year-to-date growth in foreign currency securities.
-
Akbank TAS (AKBTY) maintained a strong capital position with total capital, tier one, and core equity tier one ratios at 17.2%, 13.6%, and 12.4%, respectively.
-
The anticipated margin expansion was postponed due to strong monetary tightening in April.
-
Economic activity showed signs of moderation in Q3, with mild economic growth expected for the year.
-
The bank’s Turkish time deposit market share fell short due to funding optimization efforts and regulation-driven low levels of Turkish RDR.
-
The net cost of credit increased to 230 basis points, driven by ongoing retail NPL inflows and strengthening coverage ratios.
-
The bank’s full-year cost of credit may slightly exceed the upper end of the guidance range of 150 to 200 basis points.
Q: Could you elaborate on the strong margin expansion in Q3 and expectations for Q4 and beyond? A: (Turk) The strong recovery in Q3 was mainly due to deposit cost easing, aligning with our expectations. However, the latest rate cut in September wasn’t fully reflected in deposit pricing. As we enter Q4, the net interest margin is expected to start above Q3 levels, but the extent of improvement will depend on future rate cuts. We anticipate gradual margin improvement throughout 2026 rather than a peak early in the year.
Q: How do you see the full-year outlook evolving, considering the 25% ROE target and recent macro changes? A: (Turk) Achieving the 25% ROE target may be challenging due to the delay in the rate cut cycle. We now expect the policy rate to be around 38% by year-end, impacting our exit NIM. However, we anticipate a gradual improvement in NIM next year, with ROE likely ending between the current level and the 25% target.
