What Samsung Electronics does.
Samsung Electronics is a diversified technology conglomerate: the world's largest memory-chip maker, a top-two smartphone vendor, a leading display panel maker, and the operator of a contract foundry that competes with TSMC. That breadth makes it a broader, lower-beta way to own AI hardware than a pure-play memory name.
In AI specifically, Samsung produces DRAM and HBM for accelerators, though it has lagged SK Hynix in qualifying its latest HBM with Nvidia, a key catalyst investors watch. Its foundry arm is the main alternative to TSMC at advanced nodes. Unlike SK Hynix, which added a Nasdaq ADR line in 2026, Samsung trades only on the Korea Exchange and is accessed abroad via international brokers.
