๐Ÿšจ Goldman Sachs improves its outlook on Samsung Electronics

Goldman raised its 12-month target price for Samsung Electronics from 480,000 won to 490,000 won, and also increased its earnings-per-share forecasts for 2026 to 2028 by around 2%.

What are the reasons? ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ”น The 2Q operating profit was in line with expectations.
๐Ÿ”น Memory demand could exceed supply by a wide margin.
๐Ÿ”น That gap could even widen in 2027, while supply would remain tight in 2028.
๐Ÿ”น Samsung has reportedly already signed long-term agreements with major data center customers, which would add visibility to its revenue.
๐Ÿ”น In addition, it wants to position itself as a leader in memory for AI, with HBM4 representing more than 60% of HBM revenues in the second half of 2026.

๐Ÿ“Œ In summary: Goldman sees Samsung as well positioned to benefit from the AI boom, HBM memory, and data center demand.

Do you think Samsung will manage to establish itself as a leader in AI memory, or does the competition still have the edge? ๐Ÿ‘€
