What happened
Samsung sees chip shortage extending to 2028, touts long-term supply deals FILE PHOTO: Samsung estimates 19-fold rise in Q2 operating profit, beating expectations · Reuters Hyunjoo Jin and Heekyong Yang Thu, July 30, 2026 at 9:03 AM GMT+9 4 min read 005930.KS SKHY By Hyunjoo Jin and Heekyong Yang SEOUL, July 30 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics on Thursday reported a more than 250-fold jump in chip profit and announced multi-year supply deals with major data centre operators, saying it expects global chip shortages to become more acute and extend into 2028. The bullish outlook from the world's largest memory chip maker nevertheless failed to ease investor concerns about technology firms' hefty AI infrastructure spending curbing growth. Samsung stock ended down 0.7% after rising as much as 8.4%, though it fared better on the day than cross-town rival SK Hynix which ended down 5.6%.
