[Samsung: Demand for AI Chips Remains Strong, Potentially Worsening Supply Shortages Next Year] BlockBeats News, July 30 — Samsung Electronics stated on Thursday that demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips remains strong, which could exacerbate supply shortages next year. This contrasts with investors' concerns that major tech companies' aggressive spending on AI might slow down and hinder growth. Samsung's stock price rose 8% after the earnings call, while SK Hynix's stock rebounded by 3%. In a statement, Samsung said: 'It is expected that by the second quarter of 2026, due to continued investment in AI infrastructure and the broader adoption of generative AI, demand in the server sector will remain strong.'
