삼성 DS사업부, 차세대 반도체 사업 재개

According to TechTimes, Samsung's DS (Device Solutions) division has wrapped up its one-year emergency normalization period and is restarting investments in next-gen NAND flash, compound semiconductors, and advanced packaging. However, an 18-day strike potentially starting May 21 remains a key variable.

삼성·SK하이닉스 AI 메모리 수요 폭증, 증설 경쟁 가속

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are engaged in unprecedented expansion efforts to meet the surge in AI memory demand. Digitimes reports that both firms are accelerating capacity expansion for HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) and DRAM.

The surge in memory demand driven by the AI inference boom is creating exceptionally strong conditions for both Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Digitimes notes that margins for certain DDR5 products have improved, and next-gen HBM has emerged as the central battleground for 2026. While Samsung is developing technology to integrate NAND-style logic circuits under memory arrays for next-gen DRAM, SK Hynix is leveraging vertical stacking to gain an edge. HBM shortages are straining the entire chip supply chain, with clients pre-ordering capacity years in advance. CNBC reported that TSMC, Samsung, and SK Hynix are locked in intense regional competition for AI chip supremacy, while also flagging risks associated with market reliance on a small number of AI-linked semiconductor giants.

CNBC highlighted that Samsung Electronics has surpassed a 1 trillion USD market cap, with shares rising over 15% on the back of the AI craze, fueled directly by an 8-fold increase in Q1 operating profit. Both CNBC and Digitimes warned that supply shortages could persist beyond 2027 despite the current capacity expansion. Furthermore, the upcoming launch of 2x leveraged DRAM ETFs in the U.S. that include Samsung and SK Hynix reflects growing global interest in South Korean semiconductors.

투자자가 주목할 포인트

• Short-term (1 week): Monitor the labor union strike scheduled for May 21 and its impact on DS division production. Watch for the psychological "300,000-won" breakthrough.
• Mid-term (Q1): HBM4 mass production timeline and qualification for NVIDIA supply. Look for price inflection points in DRAM/HBM due to AI demand, and the visibility of new growth engines from resumed R&D in NAND and compound semiconductors.
• Risk factors: ① Labor risks: Potential production disruptions if the strike occurs. ② Foreign supply burden: Sustained selling pressure (41 trillion KRW annual scale) could sap upward momentum. ③ Concentration risk: Potential for increased volatility as KOSPI and Taiwan markets remain highly dependent on a few AI semiconductor stocks.

1. Monitor the May 21 Samsung Electronics labor strike: Keep an eye on breaking news and KRX filings to assess potential production disruptions.
2. Track daily foreign net buying/selling on KRX: The key to the mid-term trend is whether the 41 trillion KRW annual selling trend continues or reverses. Data available at krx.co.kr.
3. Cross-reference with SK Hynix’s earnings and HBM output: SK Hynix's HBM4 progress and NVIDIA supply status are vital benchmarks for evaluating Samsung's competitive position. Regularly check the semiconductor sections on Digitimes and CNBC.
