Samsung Electronics is trading 4.06% up now at €4100 after reports it raised prices on selected advanced foundry orders by up to 15%.
- The increases reportedly cover some new 4nm, 5nm, and 8nm orders, suggesting stronger pricing power for its previously loss-making contract-chipmaking business.
- Company-specific catalyst appears to be driving a rebound after the August 19 semiconductor selloff.
- Broader relief in bond yields supported technology sentiment, but the foundry report is the clearest direct catalyst.
