Samsung’s recent quarterly results exceeded expectations, largely due to a surge in profits from its semiconductor and memory chip divisions. This boost, fueled by increased demand for high-performance chips for AI applications, offset some challenges in other areas, such as consumer electronics, which have seen softer demand. Samsung reported a significant increase in operating profit, marking its most profitable period since 2022, with notable growth from memory chips used in AI and data centers. This rebound is also partly due to price increases in DRAM and NAND flash chips, which surged due to global demand for AI-related tech.
