MANILA/SEOUL (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics is not interested in spinning off its contract chip manufacturing business as well as its logic chip designing operation, Chairperson Jay Y. Lee told Reuters on Monday.
Analysts say Samsung's businesses of designing and manufacturing chips for other clients are incurring billions of dollars of annual losses due to weak demand and have been dragging down the overall performance of the South Korean company, which is the world's largest memory chipmaker.
