YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance

Samsung Electro-Mechanics' thesis is 'an oligopoly component maker of AI-accelerator substrates and MLCCs.' From Q2 2025 it began supplying AI-accelerator FC-BGA to NVIDIA, AMD, Apple and Marvell, with Broadcom joining as a new customer in 2H 2026 — and since FC-BGA is a global three-way oligopoly with Ibiden and Unimicron, big tech's in-house-chip spread flows straight into volume. In MLCC it is world No.2 (~25%, behind Murata ~40%), exposed to AI-server and automotive demand — FY2025 revenue ₩11.3T, operating profit ₩913B. In the graph it depends upstream on Ajinomoto ABF (near sole source) and extends downstream to fabless, Amkor and ASE, with Samsung Electronics both its largest customer (~29%) and 23.7% top shareholder. With the stock far ahead of its chain, demand volume is the key.
