Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

SK Hynix Inc. unveiled plans to return about $45 billion more to shareholders after profit surged a stronger-than-expected seven-fold, reflecting the resilience of an AI infrastructure rollout that's propelling memory chip demand. The world's second-biggest memory chipmaker reaffirmed it expects shortages of the components crucial to Nvidia Corp. accelerators to persist through at least 2030, propping up prices. On Wednesday, it reported an operating profit of 83.3 trillion won ($62.5 billion) for the September quarter, beating projections by more than 7%. The company also laid out plans to return 60 trillion won to shareholders in the remainder of the fiscal year through buybacks and dividends, on top of a previously announced 40 trillion won. Much of that stems from gains it locked in after a sale of stock in Kioxia Holdings Corp. earlier this year.

And - Hong Kong hosts the third annual One Earth Summit, an invitation-only gathering of more than 600 global policymakers, corporate executives, family offices, and sustainability innovators. The summit focuses on unlocking private capital for climate solutions across Asia and emerging markets. Bloomberg's David Ingles spoke to One Earth Summit Founder Poman Lo.
