SK Hynix’s US Trading Debut, EasyJet Gets £5.7 Billion Apollo Bid | The Opening Trade 7/10/2026
SK Hynix raised $26.5 billion in its American depositary receipt offering, as the South Korean memory chipmaker powered through volatility to deliver the largest ever
SK Hynix raised $26.5 billion in its American depositary receipt offering, as the South Korean memory chipmaker powered through volatility to deliver the largest ever US first-time share sale by a foreign company. SK Hynix’s ADR offering joins a rush of tech giants tapping the market’s deep pools of capital to fund the buildout of AI infrastructure. SpaceX held the largest initial public offering in history earlier in June, while Alphabet Inc. is set to raise $85 billion to fund its AI plans. EasyJet received a fresh offer from private equity firm Apollo Global Management for 715 pence a share that beats a rival proposal from Castlelake, a surprise twist in the takeover saga that sets up a possible bidding war between the two US investment funds.
