Samsung Electronics' quarterly profit soared to 19 times that of the same period last year, far exceeding expectations, due to a surge in demand for memory chips from AI data centers. Despite this, Samsung's stock price fell as much as 7.9% in Seoul as investors had already priced in expectations of high profit margins for chipmakers amid the global expansion of AI infrastructure. The South Korean conglomerate reported a preliminary operating profit of KRW 89.4 trillion (approximately USD 58 billion) for the second quarter ending in June, exceeding expectations by about 6%; revenue doubled to KRW 171 trillion.
