Copyright AFP SONNY TUMBELAKA<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jihye Shin and Matthew Walsh<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Samsung Electronics said Thursday that operating profit soared 750 percent on-year to a record high in the first quarter thanks to strong sales of chips crucial for artificial intelligence, and forecast continued \u00a0healthy demand in the next three months.<\/p>\n<p>The South Korean technology giant has emerged as a key player \u2014 along with rival SK hynix \u2014 in the supply of high-performing chips in demand from companies racing to keep up with the fast-evolving AI industry.<\/p>\n<p>Their strong performance has come as the South Korean government has pledged to make the country one of the world\u2019s top three AI powers alongside the United States and China.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung said in its earnings report on Thursday it had \u201cachieved record quarterly revenue and operating profit through AI technology innovations and proactive market response\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It said operating profit came in at 57.2 trillion won ($38.4 billion), having said earlier in the month that it expected to reach a quarterly record.<\/p>\n<p>Net profit hit 47.1 trillion won, beating forecasts in a Bloomberg survey of analysts, while sales reached 133.9 trillion won, an all-time quarterly high.<\/p>\n<p>Its chips division also beat expectations with a huge rise in profit to 53.7 trillion won, accounting for the bulk of the unit\u2019s total.<\/p>\n<p>The company said its memory arm \u201csurpassed its quarterly sales record by addressing high-value-added AI demand despite limited supply availability, with industry-wide memory price increases also a contributing factor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It added that it expected \u201cstrong memory demand to continue\u201d through the second quarter as the buildout of AI infrastructure continues apace.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea\u2019s benchmark Kospi stock index jumped to a fresh record above 6,700 points following the figures, which came after strong earnings from US tech giants Microsoft and Alphabet.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Riding the AI wave \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s shares have risen around 300 percent over the past year as the AI boom boosts South Korean growth and pushes the stock market to new records.<\/p>\n<p>The company has seen strong orders from major technology firms for high-bandwidth memory \u2014 a type of chip \u00a0used in data centres and AI \u201caccelerators\u201d, which are useful in carrying out demanding tasks and computation.<\/p>\n<p>That is also pushing up the cost of less flashy chips used in consumer electronics \u2014 threatening higher prices for phones, laptops and other devices worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>However, Samsung faces risks from a threatened strike next month as workers demand higher pay and bonuses.<\/p>\n<p>Tens of thousands of unionised staff held a rally last week outside the company\u2019s plant in Pyeongtaek, south of Seoul, to call for a seven percent wage hike, the end of a cap on bonuses and other benefits.<\/p>\n<p>A group of unions representing nearly 90,000 workers in total have said they will stage a strike from May 21 to June 7 unless a deal with management is reached.<\/p>\n<p>The company also faces a lawsuit in the United States alleging that it violated patents related to foldable smartphone technology by making and selling Galaxy Z Fold, Z Flip, and Z TriFold devices without permission, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<p>SK hynix said last week reported net profit soared almost 400 percent to a record high in the first quarter, shrugging off concerns that the Middle East war could hit the semiconductor industry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
