thebalanced.newsSamsung Joins TSMC in Reaching $1 Trillion Market Valuation Amid AI Chip Demand
Samsung Electronics has reached a market valuation exceeding $1 trillion, becoming the second Asian company after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) to achieve this milestone. This surge is driven by strong demand for AI-related memory chips, including high-bandwidth memory (HBM), dynamic RAM, and NAND, which are critical for AI data centers. Samsung's semiconductor division reported record profits, with expectations of continued growth amid tight supply and rising chip prices. The milestone reflects a structural shift in the AI chip market, with investors betting on sustained demand and expanding data infrastructure. Apple has also explored using Samsung for processor production in the US, diversifying beyond TSMC.
