According to BusinessKorea, against the backdrop of reduced investment in the global semiconductor industry in 2023, Samsung Electronics bucked the trend by expanding equipment and research and development investment, making the largest equipment investment in history in the first half of the year.
According to Samsung Electronics' financial report, equipment investment in the first half of 2023 reached 25.2593 trillion won, an increase of approximately 24.7% from 20.2519 trillion won in the same period last year, with investment in the semiconductor field accounting for 92%. Samsung Electronics' research and development expenses in the first half of the year also reached 13.0777 trillion won, an increase of 13.1% from 12.1771 trillion won in the first half of 2022.
Due to the sluggish storage chip market, Samsung's semiconductor division suffered a loss of up to 9 trillion Korean won in the first half of the year, but this did not stop the company's investment pace.
Recently, Samsung Electronics has been selling its holdings in other companies to generate more cash flow, raising approximately 3 trillion won by selling ASML shares. In addition, Samsung Electronics announced in February this year that it had borrowed 20 trillion won from Samsung Display Company in a short term and raised 21.8457 trillion won from its overseas subsidiaries.
Industry insiders believe that Samsung Electronics is investing heavily in semiconductor equipment to narrow the gap with other chip manufacturers; In addition, Samsung plans to carry out large-scale mergers and acquisitions in the future.
