This trend continues as SK Hynix (000660) gears for its blockbuster IPO on July 10. The South Korean memory chip giant is raising about $24.5 billion to $28 billion through the sale of 177.9 million American depositary receipts, a deal that has reportedly been more than seven times oversubscribed, according to Bloomberg .
