Samsung Electronics has become the world's first tech company to surpass 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit. The company announced it will pursue a mid- to long-term growth strategy centered on next-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to solidify its leadership in the AI memory chip sector. Its strategy focuses on three key priorities: reclaiming the top spot in the HBM market (currently led by SK Hynix, with HBM having replaced general-purpose DRAM as the core memory chip product); securing long-term demand through long-term agreements (LTAs) and infrastructure investment; and accelerating loss reduction in its foundry business.
