📝 Editor’s Comment (by K-STOCK Editor)
Listen up, bulls! The 2Q operating profit missed the 100-trillion mark because Samsung literally showered their employees with a massive bonus pool—honestly, that’s just a flex, not a fundamental breakdown. The real juice is that the DS semiconductor division is absolutely printing money, pumping out an insane 88.9 trillion KRW in a single quarter. Yeah, the retail side (smartphones and PCs) is feeling the squeeze because component prices are surging, and the bears are crying about Chinese memory suppliers trying to creep into the market share in H2. But come on, look at that 2026 ROE forecast hitting 53.9%—that is an absolute cheat code! Once the HBM4 and next-gen eSSD hype trains fully leave the station, the market will realize this temporary dip was just a massive buying opportunity. Diamond hands are going to test the 430,000 KRW moonshot, so buckle up for a bumpy but legendary H2 ride!
