Samsung Electronics may face near-term pressure on earnings and its share price as labor tensions escalate, with a potential strike and large bonus provisions weighing on profitability, according to Citigroup. In a report released April 30, Citi analyst Peter Lee maintained a “buy” rating on the stock but lowered the target price by 6.3 percent to 300,000 won from 320,000 won.

Samsung Electronics said Thursday it will focus on high-value memory products, including high-bandwidth memory and server chips, as supply shortages triggered by the artificial intelligence boom are expected to persist for some time.

Samsung’s device appliances division, which oversees home appliances, recently outlined a restructu
Samsung Display is on track to be the exclusive OLED supplier for Apple's 20th-anniversary iPhone in 2027, according to fresh supply-chain leaks out of Greater China. The arrangement, if it holds, would echo the sole-vendor deal that handed Samsung the entire iPhone X panel order in 2017. Three separate leaks within the past week have pointed to the same panel: a custom screen with all four edges gently curved, built without the polarizing film that sits on top of conventional OLEDs. Greater Chi
