Samsung Electronics is expected to become the first South Korean company with cash assets exceeding 200 trillion KRW

Driven by the AI chip super cycle, Samsung Electronics' cash reserves have reached 214.8 trillion KRW, an increase of 24.8 trillion KRW from three months ago, nearly double the 108.5 trillion KRW projected for the end of Q3 2025, with market estimates suggesting its reserves are sufficient to support the shareholder return plan announced in August.
