Samsung Electronics has forecast a nineteen-fold increase in its quarterly profit, marking the firm's third consecutive record quarter. Despite this growth, Euronews reports that investors have wiped more than $100 billion (€87.5bn) from the company's total market value.
The sell-off follows investor concerns regarding the long-term sustainability of the current AI-driven memory boom. While the company continues to report strong financial results, market sentiment has been dampened by doubts over how long the period of elevated demand for memory products will persist.
