Samsung Electronics surpassed a market capitalization of $1.2 trillion as investor demand for artificial intelligence and semiconductor exposure continued to drive gains in global technology stocks. The rally places Samsung among the world’s largest publicly traded companies amid growing optimism around memory chip pricing and AI infrastructure spending.
Shares have climbed sharply this year as demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips and advanced semiconductors accelerates across data centers and AI applications. Investors are also betting on improving profitability in Samsung’s chip division following a prolonged downturn in the memory market.
The company remains a key supplier to major AI hardware firms and smartphone manufacturers, reinforcing its strategic role in the global semiconductor supply chain.
