SEOUL (Reuters) -Samsung Electronics flagged a continued recovery in memory chips and tech demand in 2024, after reporting a 34% on-year drop in fourth-quarter profit despite a memory price rebound, as consumer demand remained weak in many businesses.
The world's biggest maker of memory chips said it expected mobile and PC makers to place more and better chips in devices as use of artificial intelligence expands, while the need to replace older servers would also aid a gradual recovery in demand.
