<div class="content-highlight">On December 3rd, the SK Group announced that SK Telecom's current <a href="http://koreabizwire.com/sk-telecom-ceo-to-double-as-sk-hynix-vice-chairman/176008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CEO Park Jung-Ho</a> will be promoted to be the Vice Chairman of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sk-hynix-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16955:1" rel="noopener">SK Hynix (000660 KS) </a>while also maintaining his current position as the CEO of SK Telecom. This is a bit unusual. The CEO of position of SK Telecom is difficult on its own. Why would the SK Group try to tact on another senior position of the Vice Chairman position of SK Hynix on the SK Telecom CEO Park Jung-Ho? In our view, this is a PRELUDE to SK Telecom becoming an INTERMEDIATE HOLDCO of the SK Group. </div>

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/micron-technology-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13382:1" rel="noopener">Micron</a> presented their technology roadmap together with a strategy update earlier this week. The event was a tour de force, highlighting technology leadership examples and consistently improving cost competitiveness. It also included deeper dives into recent and future technology decisions such as their NAND Replacement Gate and when it makes sense to deploy EUV lithography in the manufacturing of DRAM. Here's a look in detail at what they had to say.

Micron has just upgraded its outlook for the current quarter from non-GAAP revenues of $5.0-$5.4 billion to revenues of $5.7-$5.75 billion.  This increase has been due to unanticipated end-demand strength that should benefit all DRAM and NAND flash makers.
