三星Q3獲利預估成長9倍 晶片利潤恐已觸頂

Quick Look

受AI需求推動,三星電子第3季營業利潤預估將成長近9倍達106.1兆韓元,但價格上漲速度放緩,分析師自8月底下調預期7.7%,市場擔憂晶片利潤可能已觸頂,儘管記憶體短缺預計將持續至2028年。

Why It Matters

AI基礎設施需求超過供應成長導致記憶體長期短缺,推動三星、SK海力士和美光等廠商獲利創高。自8月底以來,分析師因價格上漲速度放緩下調三星Q3營業利潤預期7.7%。

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕受到強勁的AI需求推動,三星電子今年第3季營業利潤預估將成長近9倍,但自8月底以來,分析師已將預期下調近8%,價格上漲速度放緩下,市場認為晶片利潤恐怕已觸頂。

《路透》報導,儘管記憶體晶片價格漲幅放緩,韓元走強,但全球最大的記憶體晶片製造商預計將在7月到9月單季實現106.1兆韓元(約新台幣2.74兆元)的營業利潤。根據21位分析師的預測,自8月底以來下調了7.7%。

請繼續往下閱讀...

三星的營收預計將比1年前的12.17兆韓元(約新台幣3153.24億元)有所成長,連續4季創下營業利潤紀錄,凸顯出由於AI基礎設施的需求超過供應成長,記憶體短缺問題長期存在。晶片製造商譽季,這場始於1年多前的晶片短缺將持續到明年,甚至可能持續到2028年。

然而,Q3價格上漲速度放緩,加劇了人們對晶片利潤可能已經達到高峰的擔憂,並引發人們對AI支出熱潮是否能持續的質疑。在AI驅動的需求推動下,記憶體價格經歷了一年多的上漲,目前價格走勢正趨於和緩。這段期間的漲勢推動全球最大記憶體生產商三星、SK海力士和美光創下獲利新高。

集邦科技(TrendForce)預計,Q4傳統DRAM合約價格將比上一季漲10%至15%,較前季約60%漲幅放緩。

集邦科技資深研究副總吳雅婷(Avril Wu)表示,儘管市場供應仍緊張,但價格上漲速度預計將放緩,供應商擔心價格進一步大幅上漲可能會損害各類消費性電子產品的需求。此外,長期協議在供應商總產量中所佔比例越來越高。由於設定了價格上限機制,價格上漲速度已經放緩。

SK證券分析師韓東熙(Han Dong-hee)預計,三星Q3記憶體晶片營業利益率將達76%,與前季持平。三星正面臨來自中國對手日益激烈的競爭,這些中企雖然專注於相對低階的產品,但仍受惠於AI驅動的記憶體短缺。

At the end of September, China’s foreign exchange reserves were US$3.4003 billion.

As of the end of September, China's foreign exchange reserves were US$3.4003 billion, a decrease of US$38.1 billion or 1.11% from the end of August. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange said that affected by the rise in the U.S. dollar index and the fall in global financial asset prices, foreign exchange reserves decreased due to exchange rate translation and changes in asset prices. Experts pointed out that this decline mainly reflects valuation adjustments caused by fluctuations in the international financial market, rather than obvious changes in the supply and demand relationship for foreign exchange, and the scale of reserves remains sufficient.
