Why It Matters
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly visiting South Korea to meet with top executives, sparking expectations of enhanced cooperation in AI and robotics. This visit coincides with Samsung Electronics' announcement of delivering advanced HBM chip samples, crucial for AI data centers.
（中央社首爾1日綜合外電報導）人工智慧（AI）晶片巨頭輝達執行長黃仁勳傳出本週稍後將訪韓國會晤企業高層，市場評估雙方有望強化AI和機器人領域合作，此預期帶動三星電子等韓國科技公司今天股價率先大漲。
路透社引述消息人士報導，輝達（NVIDIA）執行長黃仁勳預計本週稍晚到訪韓國，將會晤樂金集團（LG Group）會長具光謨（Koo Kwang-mo）和其他韓國企業高層。
輝達預計今天在2026年台北國際電腦展（COMPUTEX）活動期間舉辦「韓國夥伴之夜」，屆時黃仁勳與三星電子、SK海力士等晶片製造商高階主管預料都會出席。
三星電子今天收盤大漲9.58%，市值達到2000兆韓元（約新台幣42兆元）；以家電和電視為主、近年積極布局機器人領域的樂金電子公司（LG Electronics）股價終場勁揚29.86%。
KB證券公司（B Securities）分析師金傑夫（Jeff Kim，音譯）認為：「黃仁勳此次訪韓意義重大。輝達需要韓國。」
輝達去年表示，將向韓國政府及三星電子、現代汽車集團等大企業供應逾26萬顆最先進AI晶片。
三星電子近日表示，已開始向客戶交付最新高頻寬記憶體（HBM）晶片樣品，搶先競爭對手一步推出對AI資料中心極為關鍵的產品；三星的客戶包含輝達等主要AI巨擘。
BNK投資證券分析師李敏熙（Lee Min-hee，音譯）指出，三星電子過去因HBM競爭力稍弱，股價估值低於SK海力士。不過，這個最新消息似乎正推動三星股價上漲。（編譯：洪啓原）1150601
