Chip cycle supports higher target

According to FN News on September 22, 2026, Daishin Securities maintained a Buy rating and a KRW 560,000 price target for Samsung Electronics. The target is 104.4 percent above the September 21, 2026 closing price of KRW 274,000, a quantified gap that shows how aggressively the research view prices the expected memory upcycle.

FN News reported on September 22, 2026 that Daishin linked its view to expanding semiconductor supply-demand conditions and improving high-bandwidth memory competitiveness. The report also cited a possible increase in purchasing competition as a short-term factor for memory prices.

Quarterly figures set the baseline
