원본보기 아이콘

Samsung Electronics hit a 52-week low at the market opening on the 25th. This is interpreted as a decline in investor sentiment following evaluations that its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) competitiveness in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market is relatively inferior to that of SK Hynix.

At 9:08 a.m. that day, Samsung Electronics was trading at 56,100 KRW, down 0.88% (500 KRW) from the previous day. During the session, the price dropped to 55,900 KRW, marking a new 52-week low.

Meanwhile, competitor SK Hynix recorded its highest-ever quarterly performance in Q3 this year, with sales of 17.6 trillion KRW and operating profit of 7 trillion KRW. The proportion of HBM in DRAM sales for Q3 was 30%, an increase of 10 percentage points compared to Q2.
