Memory sector rattled as Samsung slides, Micron rides AI demand despite caution

Micron Technology slipped before the open as Samsung’s 9% plunge hit memory stocks, highlighting the cyclical, inventory-sensitive nature of the memory trade even as Micron’s AI-driven demand helped push its revenue higher (reported around $41.46 billion). The piece notes Micron’s valuation is stretched (trading well above its estimated fair value), suggesting upside may be capped by memory-cycle risk and competition from Asian rivals, even with continued AI server demand underpinning near-term momentum.

Samsung stock slides after record shareholder returns miss buyback expectations

Samsung stock slides after record shareholder returns miss buyback expectations

Samsung Electronics’ shares fell over 8% after it unveiled a record 90–110 trillion won in shareholder returns for 2024–2026, including 30 trillion won in cash dividends this year. Analysts say the plan is large but disappointed expectations for bigger buybacks and clearer buyback details linked to AI-driven profits. Ownership constraints involving Samsung Life and Samsung Fire may limit buybacks, leaving most remaining funds to be paid out as dividends; rival SK Hynix outlined larger buybacks. The news contributed to a roughly 3% drop in the Kospi, and investors will be watching Samsung’s next capital-return framework due in January 2027.

Micron Pauses Big Buybacks as Chip Rivals Push Returns

Barron’s reports Micron is barred from large share repurchases due to its 2024 CHIPS Act funding, with restrictions set to expire December 9. While rivals SK Hynix, Kioxia and Samsung Electronics pursue or announce sizable buybacks, Micron plans to wait and instead invest $10 billion over the next decade in Micron Research Labs. UBS estimates Micron will generate ample free cash flow in 2027–2028 and could devote most of it to buybacks once the restrictions lift, meaning shareholders may wait for meaningful returns.

JOMO Takes the Spotlight as KOSPI Slumps, Sparking Zero-Loss Bets

The KOSPI closed at 5,663.24, down 5.98%, extending a 35.8% plunge from its intraday peak after a July 28 circuit breaker and heavy losses for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Amid continued volatility, office workers are embracing JOMO (joy of missing out) and a “zero-loss” mindset, often preferring cash or U.S. assets over domestic equities. Memes about corporate chairs mirror the mood that not losing money has become the new win.

Regulators apologized for introducing leveraged single-stock products and signaled tighter limits, underscoring how AI-driven positioning can drive short-term volatility even as memory-supply and Chinese-competition concerns linger for Samsung.

Samsung posts record Q2 profit on AI-driven memory demand

Samsung Electronics posted a record second-quarter operating profit of 89.5 trillion won, helped by robust AI-driven demand for memory chips (DRAM/NAND) and higher HBM4 sales, with revenue of 171.5 trillion won (roughly in line with forecasts). The results reflect a continued AI infrastructure cycle into H2 and come as Samsung expands collaborations, including with Broadcom, to support memory and foundry technologies.

AI-chip rout hits Kospi as chipmakers lead Asia decline

South Korea’s Kospi plunged nearly 11% on Tuesday as heavy selling of AI-related chipmakers pressured markets; Samsung Electronics and SK hynix dropped sharply, contributing to declines across Asia while U.S. futures were mixed. Analysts cited fears that AI-driven gains may be turning into a bubble and that investors are locking in profits, with the CXMT IPO and ongoing chip-industry competition cited as factors. Oil also fell as tensions eased and traders reassessed the AI rally.

South Korea's leveraged-chip bets unwind as retail traders get burned

South Korean retail investors chasing an AI-driven rally piled into single-stock leveraged ETFs tied to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, but a sharp reversal left them with steep losses. The KODEX SK Hynix Leverage ETF is down about 70% from its June peak and roughly 50% from its May debut, after retail buying reached about 14 trillion won since late May (vs. ~2 trillion won by foreigners). Regulators tightened rules to require a minimum cash of 30 million won to trade these products, and the Bank of Korea warned that rising leverage could magnify volatility, even as the long-term memory-chip outlook remains intact.

Samsung’s Profit Surge Fades Next to AI-Chip Rally Cooldown

Samsung Electronics posted a preliminary April–June operating profit around $58 billion, a 19-fold rise that topped expectations, but its shares fell as much as 10% in Seoul as investors booked profits after a sharp rally; peers like Micron, SanDisk and Western Digital also declined as the AI-chip rally cooled, underscoring concerns about whether the surge in demand and margins can be sustained in the memory/AI-chip space.

Korean chip stocks retreat after AI-driven hype cools and memory pricing doubts grow

South Korean chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix gave back earlier gains to fall intraday as investors priced in slower memory-price growth and uncertain AI-driven demand, with analysts noting memory supply tightness could persist into Q3 but price increases may ease in H2; the move followed Samsung’s weak post-earnings reaction and a broader tech selloff, keeping earnings optimism in check despite ongoing demand from hyperscalers.
