Samsung Electronics’ high-bandwidth memory prices are expected to more than double next year as the industry shifts to HBM4 and tight DRAM supply gives memory-makers more room to raise contract prices, according to KB Securities on Wednesday. HBM is the high-speed memory used alongside advanced AI processors, making it one of the most closely watched parts of the semiconductor market as spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure grows. KB Securities expects Samsung’s HBM selling prices t
Hyundai Motor Group is closing in on Ford’s position as the third-largest automaker in the US, with strong hybrid sales putting a potential third-place finish on an annual basis within reach. Hyundai Motor and Kia outsold Ford in July and August, building a lead of more than 15,000 vehicles over the two months. But sustaining that momentum could become harder as Washington relaxes fuel economy rules, giving US rivals more room to focus on their profitable gasoline-powered SUVs and pickups. The c
Samsung Electronics is turning more to China’s BOE for TV panels, with purchases forecast to double this year as the Korean company reshuffles its LCD suppliers. The shift comes as BOE Chairman Chen Yanshun reportedly plans to visit Korea next week to meet Samsung Electronics CEO Roh Tae-moon. Neither company has announced the meeting, but local media reports citing industry sources said TV LCD supply and pricing are expected to be on the agenda. Samsung is projected to buy 4.4 million TV LCD pa
S-1 Corp. is a small part of Samsung’s sprawling business empire. But an activist investor’s bid for Samsung affiliates’ stakes in the security company poses the question: When should a conglomerate’s companies sell their holdings in one another? Singapore-based Flashlight Capital Partners brought that question into focus in August, offering 906.6 billion won ($675 million) for the S-1 shares held by five Samsung affiliates: Samsung SDI, Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, S
Samsung Biologics’ labor union is seeking to bring Samsung Electronics into its prolonged wage dispute, demanding direct negotiations on personnel and compensation policies it says the chipmaker effectively controls. The union said Tuesday it had sent a bargaining request to Samsung Electronics, which holds a 30.92 percent stake in the biopharmaceuticals company as its second-largest shareholder. It argues that Samsung Electronics’ influence over those policies qualifies it as an employer under
LG Electronics will supply an integrated digital cockpit for Renault Group’s new Trafic Van E-Tech Electric, expanding its automotive technology business as manufacturers shift to software-defined vehicles. The electric van, named the 2027 International Van of the Year, is Europe’s first commercial software-defined vehicle, according to LG. LG’s cockpit combines a digital instrument cluster and infotainment system, bringing driving information, navigation and media functions into a unified inter
LG will send five components made by three affiliates into orbit aboard South Korea’s homegrown Nuri rocket Wednesday, marking the conglomerate’s first groupwide test of its technologies in space. LG Sciencepark, LG Group’s research and innovation hub, said Tuesday that the components have been installed on a CubeSat prepared with Unmanned Exploration Laboratory, a Korean startup specializing in lunar exploration rovers. CubeSats are compact, standardized satellites commonly used for Earth obser
South Korea plans to split its homegrown artificial intelligence development program into two tracks next year: a frontier model project backed by 4.7 trillion won ($3.49 billion) in proposed government investment and a separate effort to deploy Korean models across industries. The overhaul will open a new competition for frontier AI funding rather than automatically extending the existing support program for the two teams that survive the current selection process. Second Vice Minister of Scien
Samsung Electronics is poised to break the 100 trillion won mark in quarterly operating profit for the first time, as booming memory chip sales drive another record quarter. The company is expected to report third-quarter operating profit of 108.1 trillion won ($80.2 billion), up nearly ninefold from a year earlier, on revenue of 201.7 trillion won, according to brokerage estimates compiled by FnGuide as of Monday. Samsung releases preliminary earnings guidance Thursday. The forecasts imply reve
After a near-sleepless night on Aug. 25, I opened the Oura app to find a sleep score of 36 — a blunt number for a night I already knew had gone badly. I had slept for 2 hours and 7 minutes, with 69 percent sleep efficiency and just 17 minutes of REM sleep. The numbers told me little I did not already feel, but they made the problem harder to brush aside. I wore the gold Oura Ring 5 from Aug. 18 through Friday, a total of 46 days, rarely removing it. It stayed on during commutes, long hours at my
