  "summary": "SK Hynix shares surged to a two-week high on Tuesday following a report from South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo that the memory chipmaker was considering a special dividend of approximately $12 billion. The news caused the company's shares to climb 7.14% to 1,366,000 won, surpassing the broader KOSPI index which rose 3.81% in morning trading. The proposed dividend could be funded by gains from SK Hynix's stake in Japanese memory chipmaker Kioxia, which the company invested around $4 billion in through a consortium in 2018. However, SK Hynix has not yet confirmed the proposed dividend. The company stated on Monday that it is reviewing various shareholder return measures to boost shareholder value, with additional measures expected to be announced alongside its third-quarter results on Wednesday, subject to board approval.",
