Samsung Electronics' operating profit for the second quarter is expected to surge 18-fold year-on-year to KRW 86 trillion, driven by strong demand for AI memory chips. Analysts note that tight supply conditions in the memory chip market will persist into next year, with significant increases in demand for HBM, DRAM, and NAND products. However, delays in AI infrastructure investments could pose the biggest risk to the booming memory market. Samsung Electronics plans to release detailed financial results later this month.
