The Digitimes item says SK hynix is using strong AI memory demand to negotiate stricter long-term contracts while avoiding financing structures that could give major customers influence over fabs or equipment. The reported stance points to a supplier with meaningful leverage in high-end memory markets. For buyers, that suggests AI memory availability remains tight enough for contract discipline to matter, particularly where customers want durable access to future capacity.
