Samsung and SK hynix are projecting $263 billion in combined net cash by year-end, intensifying pressure to move beyond 50% free-cash-flow payout targets.
Customer deposits and price floors underwrite new capacity, significantly improving demand visibility and weakening the traditional cycle-risk argument for holding massive excess cash.
While LTAs de-risk memory, capital demands remain high. Samsung’s foundry requires heavy investment, and both firms face potential supply-chain contingencies at their Chinese fabs.

<li>Good 3Q25: revenue 4% above Consensus, Operating Income 7% above. But a huge US$18bn tax reversal leads to a big GAAP miss. A 10% NON-GAAP beat.</li>
<li>2025 Capex revised up to high end of range, from $66-72 bn to $70-72 billion. 2026 Capex dollar growth will be notably larger than 2025, that means over 100bn.</li>
<li>Stock down -9% after hours, an over-reaction to a one-off non-cash tax write off. Valuations: slightly high as 2026 growth is forecast to be low due to OP margin decline.</li>
