0211 GMT - Samsung Electro-Mechanics' new investment to expand chip-substrate production capacity in South Korea and Vietnam could boost its 2027-2028 earnings, says SK Kim at Daiwa Capital. The analyst notes that the planned 6.8-trillion-won investment is aimed at keeping up with rapidly growing demand for Ajinomoto Build-Up Film substrates used in data-center central processing units and artificial-intelligence accelerators. Kim assumes that the majority of the investment is backed by customers. Kim also expects the company to increase its multilayer-ceramic-capacitor production capacity by 20%-30% amid a shortage of MLCCs for AI servers. "We expect a significant earnings improvement through 2027-28, driven by strong AI demand for ABF substrates and the company's active response to AI server MLCC demand," Kim says in a note.
