KB Securities released a report on the 13th, analyzing that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are currently in a deeply undervalued range. KB Securities analyst Kim Dong-won stated, "It is expected that the combined operating profit of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will increase from 91 trillion won in 2025 to 641 trillion won in 2026, and further rise to 964 trillion won in 2027, approaching 1,000 trillion won." The market expects both companies to maintain their best-ever performance in the third quarter of this year. KB Securities predicts Samsung Electronics' operating profit in the third quarter to be 112 trillion won, while SK Hynix's operating profit is expected to be 77 trillion won, representing year-on-year increases of 817% and 579%, respectively. The logic supporting this performance lies in the expansion of long-term supply contracts and the rise in memory chip prices. With long-term supply agreements with hyperscale cloud providers continuing to expand, over 60% of the production capacity for memory chips of both companies has already secured orders. Coupled with the rising expectations for memory chip price increases, the companies are likely to continue delivering impressive financial reports.
