Samsung and AI Chip Stocks Decline Despite Record Earnings
Despite reporting a preliminary operating profit of $58 billion, up nearly 19-fold year-over-year, Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) saw its stock fall as investors took profits following an AI-driven rally. The decline extended to other chip stocks like Micron Technology (MU), Sandisk (SNDK), and Western Digital (WDC). Analysts suggest concerns over sustainability of high sales and margins are fueling the sell-off.
