Samsung Posts Record $62B Profit as AI Chip Demand Surges, but Shares Tumble

Memory chip boom powers the numbers

The star performer was Samsung's Device Solutions division, which houses its memory chip business. Sales there jumped 56% from the previous quarter, with the memory arm setting new records for both revenue and operating profit. Samsung has been prioritizing server and AI chips over consumer products to meet the exploding demand for AI computing capacity. Server chips now make up a record share of its memory mix.

The company also said it has scaled up production of its next-generation HBM4 memory and shipped the first samples of HBM4E to major customers. High-bandwidth memory is critical for training large AI models, and Samsung recently signed supply deals with Nvidia and Broadcom.

Boom paměťových čipů pohání čísla

Nejvýkonnějším segmentem byla divize Device Solutions společnosti Samsung, která zahrnuje její podnikání s paměťovými čipy. Tržby zde vzrostly o 56 % oproti předchozímu čtvrtletí, přičemž paměťová divize stanovila nové rekordy v tržbách i provozním zisku. Samsung upřednostňuje serverové produkty, aby uspokojil explozivní poptávku po výpočetní kapacitě pro AI. Serverové čipy nyní tvoří rekordní podíl na skladbě jeho pamětí.

Společnost také uvedla, že zvýšila výrobu své paměti HBM4 nové generace a odeslala první vzorky HBM4E významným zákazníkům. Paměť s vysokou šířkou pásma je klíčová pro trénování velkých AI modelů a Samsung nedávno podepsal dodavatelské smlouvy s Nvidií a Broadcomem.

" Note: "star performer" -> "nejvýkonnějším segmentem" or "hvězdou". "houses" -> "zahrnuje". "jumped" -> "vzrostly". "prioritizing server products" -> "upřednostňuje serverové produkty" (original says "prioritizing server products" but in the text it says "prioritizing server and AI chips" - wait, original says: "Samsung has been prioritizing server products to meet the exploding demand for AI computing capacity." Actually the original given says: "Samsung has been prioritizing server products to meet the exploding demand for AI computing capacity." But in the user's content it says: "Samsung has been prioritizing server and AI chips over consumer products" - let me re-read the user's content: "Samsung has been prioritizing server products to meet the exploding demand for AI computing capacity." That's what I see. So I'll keep "serverové produkty". Also "memory mix" -> "skladbě jeho pamětí". "scaled up production" -> "zvýšila výrobu". "HBM4" and "HBM4E" keep as is. "High-bandwidth memory" -> "Paměť s vysokou šířkou pásma" (common term). "Nvidia" and "Broadcom" keep. Third paragraph: "

Investor jitters despite strong outlook

Samsung's stock is still up roughly 75% year-to-date, but the sharp drop on Wednesday shows that some investors are getting nervous. The concern: can the memory boom keep going? Analysts broadly expect demand for server memory and high-bandwidth chips to stay strong through the second half of 2026. Samsung itself
