SK Hynix has abandoned its planned IPO for its US unit Solidigm following South Korean regulators' declaration that the listing would violate a duplicate listing ban.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 2 sources have reported it between 19 Oct 2026 and 23 Oct 2026.
