[Samsung Electronics' Foundry Business Turns Profitable in June for the First Time in Three Years] BlockBeats News, July 6: Samsung Electronics' Foundry Division achieved single-month profitability in June this year, marking the first monthly profit since 2023. Industry experts attribute this turnaround to increased orders for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) base chips and improved yield rates in advanced processes, which have reduced the burden of fixed costs and driven the recovery of profitability. Based on the current trend, Samsung's foundry business is expected to achieve quarterly profitability in the third quarter of this year. Although overall performance in the second quarter was still impacted by losses incurred in April and May, making it difficult to confirm profitability for the entire quarter, the single-month profit in June has significantly raised internal confidence within Samsung that quarterly profitability in Q3 is now more likely. Analysts believe this marks the first monthly profit for Samsung's Foundry Division since 2023. Over the past few years, the business has been in a prolonged state of loss, primarily due to factors such as low yield rates in advanced processes, the loss of major clients, and insufficient capacity utilization.
