Samsung Electronics said on Wednesday that it is analyzing large companies to increase its growth after dealing with the questions of hard shareholders after the inability to take advantage of the boom of artificial intelligence.
South Korean society was one of the worst technological actions for last year’s performance.
Samsung has suffered from low profits and decrease in the prices of actions in the last quarters after being behind rivals in advanced memory and production chips under contract, which have enjoyed strong artificial intelligence projects.
The shareholders criticized the administration for the low performance of shares and during the meeting they requested measures to reactivate the prices of the documents.
The semiconductor business of CEO and Samsung has promised to reach competition in the high -width -width memory chip races (HBM) and apologized for the scarce performance of the company’s shares.
“We delayed the reading of the market trends and, consequently, we have lost the initial market”, Jun Young-Hyun, Co-Cece of Samsung and head of the semiconductor business.
Samsung, who introduced a performance system based on the action last year, is taking into consideration the expansion of the regime to employees next year, as part of the efforts to increase the prices of their actions, said the co-cenu han Jong-Hee.
Samsung’s shares were negotiated with an increase of 2.3% compared to 0.9% of the Kospi reference index.
“The performance of the actions was disappointing,” a 65 -year -old shareholder who provided only his surname, Lee, before the meeting, told Reuters.
“Last year, the price of the shares was so serious that I even thought about investing in US securities,” he said.
Samsung’s actions decreased by almost a third last year and reached a minimum of four years in November, while those of the rival SK Hynix increased by 26%.
Samsung has launched a plan to buy actions for a value of 10 Won trillions ($ 7.2 billion) in November.
Great business
Han told investors that 2025 will be a difficult year due to uncertainties related to economic policies in the main economies. According to him, Samsung will seek “significant” mergers and acquisitions to meet the concerns of investors on growth.
“There are some difficulties in creating mergers and semiconductor acquisitions due to regulatory issues and various national interests, but this year we are determined to produce tangible results,” he said.
In internal meetings, Samsung recognized that she had lost ground. This is particularly true in the semiconductor area, where it is behind SK Hynix in HBM chip on which Nvidia and other companies depend on the AI graphic processing units.
“Our technological advantage has been compromised in all our activities,” said the transcription from a message by President Jay Y. Lee given to an internal executive seminar that was seen by Reuters.
“It is difficult to see that efforts are made to increase great innovations or face new challenges. There are only efforts to maintain a status quo instead of shaking things.”
In recent years, Samsung has also lost the market share compared to TSMC in the production of contracts and rivals of apples and Chinese in smartphones.
Jun promised the shareholders that 2025 would be “the year in which we would have recovered our fundamental competitiveness”.
However, Samsung faces higher obstacles than rivals due to the new US restrictions on exports of state chips in China. The Asian giant has become the most important market of Samsung thanks to the supplies of chips by Chinese companies.
Han said Samsung will respond flexible to the rates of American president Donald Trump with his global supply chain and manufacturing presence, analyzing the US investment options.
The Trump administration is also reviewing chip projects that have received billions of subsidies pursuant to a 2022 law designed to increase the production of national semiconductors. The main winners of the prize include Samsung, Intel, TSMC, Micron and SK Hynix.
Samsung is the most precious company of South Korea, with market capitalization of 235 billion dollars, equal to 16% of the total value of the country’s main stock market. Almost 40% of investors in South Korean actions have Samsung actions, according to market data.
