Samsung Electronics reportedly conducts preliminary research on potential plans to go public in the United States Odaily Planet Daily News: According to foreign media reports, insiders have stated that Samsung Electronics is in the initial stage of exploring the issuance of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Samsung has had preliminary discussions with multiple banks, but has not yet decided whether to proceed with the relevant plans. Samsung will closely monitor the volatility of storage chip stocks during the decision-making process. If the company ultimately advances to go public in the United States, its huge business portfolio and ongoing labor disputes may pose challenges to the design of the transaction structure. According to informed sources, Samsung had previously evaluated the possibility of issuing ADRs, but ultimately decided to abandon them. However, the recent successful listing of SK Hynix in the United States has provided new impetus for Samsung to reconsider this option. Since the beginning of this year, Samsung's stock price has risen by about 120%, driving the company's market value to exceed $1 trillion. The significant increase in stock price reflects the market's high expectations for the company's profit growth. Samsung's preliminary performance announced last week exceeded market expectations, but its stock price still fell sharply, highlighting that it has become increasingly difficult to meet investors' expectations. At the same time, the prospect of more newly added production capacity being put on the market also puts pressure on chip stocks. (Golden Ten)
