Samsung, SK Hynix earn more profit than all of listed India Inc
Mumbai: South Korea’s two semiconductor firms, Samsung and SK Hynix, together generated more profit in the March 2026 quarter than the aggregate profit of listed Indian companies in any of the quarters so far.
This reflects the trickle-down effect of the booming capital expenditure cycle in the artificial intelligence (AI) field for the chip makers as memory chips are core to the AI technology. Samsung and Hynix posted record net profits of $32.2 billion and $27.5 billion, respectively, for the March quarter, amounting to $59.7 billion in combined profit, the data from Bloomberg showed.
