A005930: Tight DRAM Supply And AI Demand Will Support Future Profitability

Analysts have lifted their fair value estimate for Samsung Electronics from ₩129,604 to ₩166,387, citing updated assumptions that include stronger revenue growth, higher profit margins, and a lower future P/E multiple, supported by recent research highlighting constrained DRAM supply over the next several years. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research around Samsung and the wider memory sector has focused heavily on DRAM supply plans, which feeds directly into how analysts think about Samsung's earnings power, capital allocation, and valuation multiples over the next few years.
