"Samsung announced today that its revenue reached KRW 133 trillion (around $100 billion) during the first quarter (Q1) of this year, while its operating profit stood at KRW 57.2 trillion (around $43 billion). That marks an eightfold increase compared to its profit in Q1 2025. This strong performance was driven by solid sales of the company’s high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips used in AI data centers. "

obviously there is some discontent in South Korea , a prolonged strike would impact supplies. A number of Tech companies could provide better terms, apparently the union want a system similar to SK Hynix which has removed the Bonus gap. Samsung argue this would reduce funds for future investment and widen disparities amongst staff.
