Brief news summary

Samsung Electronics is expecting a 15-fold increase in profits for Q2 2024 compared to the same period last year. This surge is attributed to the rising demand for advanced computer chips fueled by the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). As the world's largest manufacturer of memory chips, smartphones, and televisions, the company's announcement has caused its shares to rise by over 2% during early trading in Seoul. This follows a more than 10-fold jump in profits for the first quarter of 2024. Samsung anticipates its Q2 profit to reach 10.4tn won ($7.54bn; £5.9bn), surpassing analysts' forecasts of 8.8tn won. However, the company also faces potential disruption next week due to a three-day strike initiated by a worker union demanding a more transparent bonus and time-off system.
