Any Samsung Strike Will Hurt Beyond Production Losses -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-20

0503 GMT - Any strikes at Samsung Electronics could hurt the South Korean chipmaker beyond simply production losses, says Morningstar's Jing Jie Yu in a note. Samsung's management said it couldn't accept the union's demands, while the union said it would proceed with its planned strikes from May 21-June 7. The analyst estimates an 18-day strike could lead to a roughly 5% decline in 2026 operating profit. He says that Samsung's less competitive compensation could lead to talent leaving the company, particularly in its memory division. This could be concerning as talent loss in 2019 led to Samsung falling behind in developing certain high-bandwidth memory and missing out on strong demand in 2024-2025, the analyst adds. Morningstar maintains its 205,000 won fair-value estimate. Shares fall 1.45% to 271,500 won. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
