Samsung hits $1 trillion valuation as AI chip demand drives shares up over 10%.

Samsung's market value surpassed $1 trillion after its shares jumped more than 10%, fueled by strong demand for AI-related memory chips. The company recently reported profits eight times higher than last year, driven by sales of high-bandwidth memory chips essential for AI systems. Additionally, talks with Apple to produce chips in the U.S. could reshape the semiconductor supply chain. Despite this success, Samsung faces challenges including potential worker strikes and competition from SK Hynix.
