However, investment in computing power infrastructure remains robust, suggesting limited long-term impact. On Monday morning, shares of South Korean memory chipmaker Samsung Electronics fell as much as 4.1%, while SK Hynix tumbled 5.8%, as investors assessed the impact of adjustments in frontier model development strategies on corporate earnings. In the Japanese market, chip equipment company Advantest fell 4.7%, while memory chipmaker Kioxia Holdings plunged 9.3%.
