A005930: AI Optimism Will Eventually Expose Margin Pressure In Chip Upswing

Analysts have trimmed their fair value estimate for Samsung Electronics from ₩90,533.46 to ₩82,645.91 as they recalibrate assumptions around profit margins and a higher future P/E multiple, while keeping revenue growth expectations and the discount rate broadly in line. Analyst Commentary Recent changes to the fair value estimate for Samsung Electronics highlight that some inputs in analysts' models, such as profit margins and the assumed future P/E multiple, are under review rather than locked in.
