Samsung Electronics Reaches $1 Trillion Market Valuation Amid AI Chip Demand

Samsung Electronics has reached a 1 trillion market valuation, becoming the second Asian company after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) to achieve this milestone. The surge follows a more than fourfold increase in its stock over the past year, driven by strong demand for AI-related memory chips. This growth has contributed to South Korea's Kospi index surpassing 7,000. Analysts highlight that memory chips are now seen as a structural component of AI infrastructure. Samsung's semiconductor division recently reported record profits, and Apple has explored using Samsung for US-based chip production alongside TSMC.
