Samsung Electronics is trading 6.3% down at KRW 230,500 after investors locked in gains following a sharp AI-memory-driven rebound.
- Investors are questioning whether AI infrastructure spending and memory-price growth can continue at the same pace.
- Renewed caution across Korean semiconductor stocks, broader chip weakness and foreign selling amplified the pullback.
- The move appears sector-led rather than driven by a fresh company-specific announcement.
