Samsung Chip Arm Logs Big Profit Miss, Despite Tesla Deal
Samsung, a big company making computer chips, didn't make as much money as expected.
They had trouble selling some chips because of rules about selling them to certain countries.
This hurt their profits.
However, Samsung recently got a big deal to make special chips for Tesla, the electric car company.
This has helped their stock price go up.
Samsung is working hard to make better chips and compete with other companies, especially for the chips used in AI.
Samsung's semiconductor division reported a significant profit miss for the June quarter.
Operating profit was 400 billion won ($288 million), far below the 2.73 trillion won forecast.
The shortfall was due to US export controls on high-bandwidth memory chips and foundry arm losses.
Samsung's stock has risen 10% since the Tesla AI chip deal was announced.
The company is investing in R&D to compete in the AI memory chip market.
