Samsung foundry narrows losses with HBM4; profit turnaround still unclear

Samsung Electronics\' foundry business is expected to narrow losses in the third quarter as HBM memory volumes lift base-die output made on its logic process. The shift to HBM4 increases foundry-linked revenue within memory sales, and Samsung is also expanding turnkey deals that bundle memory, foundry and packaging for external customers. Kiwoom Securities forecasts the foundry and System LSI operating loss will shrink this year, while Samsung has said a return to profit could be possible soon.
