Samsung Electronics is trading 3.14% up at €3120.00 after its semiconductor division raised its 2026 operating-profit outlook to as much as ₩370 trillion from ₩330 trillion.
- The upgrade reflects stronger-than-expected AI-chip demand and sharply higher DRAM and NAND prices.
- Third-quarter operating profit is forecast at â‚©107.4 trillion, supporting expectations for record quarterly profitability.
- Broader risk-on sentiment, including stronger technology stocks, may also be supporting the move.
