They produced a loss for the first time in their device
(handset) division, due to higher DRAM + storage prices, which are
an input for that segment, and declining sales. But the
memory division produced a greater profit than any other tech
company.
And here is a key statement from what they said:
"Considering the long lead time of more than three and a half
years from building a new fab to producing wafers, expanding supply
through capacity additions will inevitably take a
considerable amount of time," Samsung Electronics said. "It
will be difficult to expect a significant increase in supply
until 2028." The company added, "The supply shortage is
expected to intensify next year compared to this year and continue
into 2028."
