Company News
Samsung Electronics executive chairman Jay Y. Lee has reclaimed the title of South Korea's richest person with a net worth of $21.6 billion, nearly tripling his fortune from last year. Lee succeeded private equity executive Michael Kim of MBK Partners, who held the position in 2025. The surge was driven by Samsung's memory chip business recovery amid a global semiconductor shortage. The company secured a $16.5 billion multiyear contract from Tesla to manufacture AI chips and began mass production of High Bandwidth Memory 4 chips in February, a crucial component for Nvidia's next-generation AI accelerators. For 2025, Samsung posted a 31% increase in net profit to 45 trillion won ($30 billion) on an 11% revenue rise to 334 trillion won. Lee's late father held the richest person title for over a decade until his death in 2020.
South Korea's semiconductor exports surged 152% to $8.6 billion, accounting for 34% of total shipments, according to Digital Watch Observatory. The country posted record annual exports exceeding $700 billion in 2025, with semiconductor exports reaching $173.4 billion. Samsung Electronics projected quarterly operating profit of 57.2 trillion won ($37.9 billion), up approximately eight times, driven by memory chip sales. High Bandwidth Memory for AI data centres sold rapidly, with one analyst estimating memory chips contributed nearly 90% of operating profit. Global DRAM average selling prices rose 64% in the first quarter. The AI boom is reshaping national economies. China's integrated circuit exports jumped 72.6% in early 2026 as Beijing pursues semiconductor self-sufficiency, intensifying the global chip race.
Samsung Electronics plans to invest $4 billion to build a chip packaging plant in northern Vietnam, expanding its presence as the country's largest foreign investor. The facility will strengthen Samsung's semiconductor operations in Vietnam, where the South Korean tech giant already maintains significant manufacturing capabilities. The investment underscores Vietnam's growing importance as a production hub for global technology companies seeking to diversify their supply chains. Details about the plant's timeline, production capacity and specific location in northern Vietnam were not immediately disclosed.
Asian technology stocks surged on Wednesday following a US-Iran ceasefire agreement that includes temporary reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, easing supply chain concerns. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company rose 4.84%, whilst China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International jumped over 10%. Japanese chipmaker Tokyo Electron climbed 9.6%, Advantest gained over 13%, and Renesas Electronics added 12%. South Korean memory chip leader SK Hynix surged more than 15%, whilst Samsung Electronics advanced over 9%. The conflict had raised serious concerns about helium supply, critical for chip production and photolithography. Iranian attacks on Qatari industrial sites, which produce about 30% of global helium, and Strait of Hormuz closures had severely strained supplies. Oil prices fell on the ceasefire news, potentially relieving inflation pressures across the semiconductor industry.
Samsung Electronics' first-quarter profit surged 755% year-on-year, exceeding expectations. However, the South Korean tech giant faces uncertainty due to escalating conflict in the Middle East. The strong performance was driven by a rebound in the semiconductor sector, though concerns about the Iran war situation are casting shadows over the company's future outlook.
