Our History & Evolution
July 2026: SK Hynix NASDAQ ADR Listing & The Birth of Semikr
Following SK Hynix’s landmark NASDAQ ADR listing (Ticker: SKHY) in July 2026, global investor interest in Korean memory giants reached an all-time high. However, foreign investors lacked access to raw, un-manipulated primary facts such as 10-day regional customs export totals and regulatory filings. Semikr was founded to solve this information asymmetry.
Key Milestones
- Phase 1 (July 2026): Launch of Track A (Trade Facts)—Automated parsing of Korea Customs Service HS 8542 semiconductor export datasets.
- Phase 2: Integration of Track B (Corporate Filings)—Direct OpenDART XML parsing with foreign exchange ($ USD) auto-conversions.
- Phase 3: Rollout of Track C (Research Notes)—PDF parsing and objective synthesis of domestic brokerage research notes with strict disclaimers.
- Phase 4 (Planned): Upcoming expansion of the Korean MPE (Supply Chain) Hub—Planned tracking of precision equipment leaders including Hanmi Semiconductor and EO Technics for global retail and institutional traders.
Semikr continues to operate as an independent, fact-first financial media platform headquartered in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
