Hynix DRAM plant erupts in flames, entire industry affected

Two Hynix DRAM production facilities in Wuxi, China destroyed in massive chemical explosion and resulting fires (KRX:000660)

We're following a breaking story this morning coming out of Wuxi, China, where two DRAM production facilities owned by SK Hynix Semiconductor were destroyed in what is being described as a massive chemical explosion. Hynix is the world's number two maker of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and, as of the second quarter of this year, had a 30 percent market share.

I bet it was the number one maker of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) that was behind it.

Wasn't it said it only hit the shipping department and didn't touch the fabs. They also released a statement they should be back to 100% in a few weeks.

This price increase is artificial.

edit, yup found it.

"Currently, there is no material damage to the fab equipment in the clean room, thus we expect to resume operations in a short time period so overall production and supply volume would not be materially affected,"
