>According to Goldman Sachs' estimates, Samsung Electronics' operating profit in 2028 could reach $364.5 billion (approximately 52.7 trillion yen). This figure is projected to potentially surpass the combined operating profit of the top 100 listed companies in Japan, which currently stands at approximately 42 trillion yen.>This massive growth is driven by the soaring profitability of Samsung's semiconductor division, specifically the HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) chips used in AI servers. In the first quarter of 2026, the company recorded an operating profit of $41.9 billion, representing a staggering 755% increase year-on-year.>In contrast, while Toyota remains the leader among Japanese firms with an operating profit of approximately 4.8 trillion yen, its growth outside the semiconductor sector has remained relatively stagnant. This disparity has sparked a mix of pessimism and critical analysis on social media platforms like X, as Samsung’s rapid trajectory highlights the shifting economic landscape of the AI era and prompts calls for structural reforms within Japanese industry.How did Japan fall behind in the AI-led semiconductor boom?
>>534514580Japan left the business long ago due to incompetence
>>534514580>>According to kike/thread
>>534514580As if Nvidia would keep buying shitty fraud dram. TW Nanya is already set to produce LPDDR5 btw.
>>534514580>$364.5 billionHere's your ubi bro.
I'd rather have 100 companies all competing for each other than 1-3 megacorps.
>>534514580Is that why Samsung Chairman is the de-facto ruler of your country?
>>534517070Nobody really gives a shit about consumer markets. The market is so big that even small players are getting their pieces of meat.
>>534519639LPDDR is the core reason for the ongoing memory bubble. And Nanya and China CXMT are just about to begin mass production. The memory stocks are going to nosedive when these flood the market.
>>534519817>Nanya and China CXMT are just about to begin mass productionThey've been saying that for years but the cost isn't going down. Instead CXMT recently announced that it too is going to raise prices in the future. So, no, there won't be any bargain. Also, the shortage is expected to last well into the 2030s.
>>534514580America forced Japan to give up its semiconductor industry because it was too dominant. America literally threatened to sanction Japan’s entire economy for no reason besides “you guys are better than us and we need you to stop kicking our ass.” Then it gave it to the gooks because there circumcised good goys
>>534520447The semiconductor business cycle can't last that long. Goldman Sachs is just hyping it up so that they can sell off and of course you retards fall for it.
Japan just keeps losing
>>534514580sheesh
>>534514580>How did Japan fall behindThe US gives Korea a monopoly on the cellphone market of people too poor to afford iphones to screw over China. They do the same thing for Japan with but with cars. Now that petro dollar is dead you are both in trouble because a US monopoly is worthless now
>>534520739>The semiconductor business cycle can't last that long.These are not rough guesses. The orders are already fully booked until the late 20s with no-refund policies, so it's pretty much pegged.
>>534521062Lmao you have to be retarded to believe your picrel. I've literally never seen a single video of chinese schools serving luxury meals

>>534520667The US-Japan semiconductor agreement ended in 1998 and Japanese semiconductor industry still had over 20% global market share at the time. It's their own mismanagement that led to its insolvency.
>>534521062>>534521132>have trivial shits like these saved on his phoneWhy are chinese so petty?
>>534521444Why can't Japan into AI? >>534520986
>>534521574AI is a jew scam
Japan's main industry now relies on overseas investment. It is the world's largest creditor nation.Some people on 4chan talk about the Japanese government's debt, but Japanese people have twice that amount in savings, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about the debt.
>>534521617Cope
Google released new memory cache algorithmUS hyperscalers are pissed off about memory makers are trying to scam with price-fixingGuess how long this memory bubble will last. kek
>>534521812Google is still AmericanJapan will never come up with a Google of its own
>>534521370Last time, during the semiconductor materials sanctions, executives from your industry came to Japan. They seemed to have absolutely no idea what was going on. Seriously, they're idiots.
>>534517412>defacto ruler>Goes to jail for not following the rulesRetard alert!
>>534521878Now roles are reversed

>>534521920A slap on the wrist?
>>534514580japans importing jeets, its done.im kinda glad japan got absurdly popular with normalfags lately because it made me lose all interest.sometimes ill accidentally check on /a/ and its all westoid-catered shonenshit. complrte garbage.rest in piss, japniggers. sony products suck nowadays anyways.
>>534514580This simply illustrates that South Korea has a distorted economic structure, where failing to get a job at Samsung effectively means your life is over.They may be trying to say that even if all Japanese companies joined forces, they wouldn’t stand a chance, but the reality is that Samsung has simply grown larger through a series of mergers.
>>534522038Why don’t you leave your mom’s basement and stop getting your daily news from 4chan memes?
>>534521878After the incident in 2019, almost all of the affected Japanese companies moved its production to South Korea, that includes JSR and TOK. The only field that Japan is left unscathed is usually trivial stuff that can and will be replaced with domestic substitutes. It's not like ASML, who is technically irreplaceable.
Currently, the Japanese economy is in a good state.The domestic market is large and less susceptible to the influence of overseas markets.The unemployment rate is 2.6%, making it easy to find work. Over the past 15 years, inflation has increased 1.6 times, while the Nikkei 225 index (Japanese Dow) has increased 6 times.Thanks Abe. He saved Japan.
>>534522064>This simply illustrates that South Korea has a distorted economic structure,>where failing to get a job at Samsung effectively means your life is over.South Korea has many other prominent industries as well such as energy sectors. It's not like the rest is failing, but it's the semiconudctor that's best performing at the moment.
>>534522376>vietnamese is the top immigrant in JapanNo wonder there are so many Vietnamese involved crimes in Japan.
>>534522443>all these and still Samshit can't make it for 3nm yieldThe Japan anon is completely right. Your idiot executives have no idea what is going on. kek
>>534522692South Korea's youth unemployment rate stands at 7.9%, the worst it has been since the pandemic began.In other words, the economic situation in South Korea as a whole is not good.You Koreans are just engaging in public masturbation, looking at only the numbers that suit you and feeling good about yourselves.Unemployment tops 1 million in South Korea as youth joblessness climbshttps://biz.chosun.com/en/en-policy/2026/04/19/VAKCQZVKEFHC5PMVFP5WOYIFFE/
>>534514580A former colonial nation has now surpassed its former colonial power. It sounds like a story image that leftists like UNESCO would fabricate.and we are sucker enough to let this happen, very embarassing.
>>534523127>>all these and still Samshit can't make it for 3nm yieldWhat the hell are you talking about? Exynos 2600 that is slated to be adopted in S26 is made using 2nm process and it's yield rate is hitting over 60%.
>>534514580profits are unpaid wagesyou guys need to rein in your upper class so ordinary Koreans can live better lives.
>>534523400>will be replaced with domestic substitutesSay this again after your failed foundry makes it yield. There are zero customers for Samsung 3nm, shitty chip is no demand.
>2028>couldyeah good luck with that koreaniggers
>>534523743Samsung foundry is a disaster-level failure. They have been burning money for like over 10 years, so they are trying to cover it up with this memory price-fixing. kek
>>534523329Are you saying that Japan is defeated by a nation whose unemployment rate is much worse?
>>534521141>screw over ChinaYou don't get it do you?It's the Jew bankers of America that used Japan as a buffer to help China grow.
>>534523743These are not conjectures. The orders are fully booked for at least 5 years with no-cancellation clauses.>>534523481>There are zero customers for Samsung 3nm, shitty chip is no demand.Looks like they hit a gold mine I guess.
>>534523862That is merely a difference in aging populations and does not accurately reflect the economic situation.An indicator that simply divides GDP by population is meaningless.Currently, South Korea has a significantly lower birth rate than Japan, so its per capita GDP will soon begin to decline as well.
I predict this memory price-fixing will just end up with 2 new players (Nanya and CXMT) cutting in the advanced stage, and the US will put more weight on Micron (and Intel ZAM) over the others, and Korea is just rapidly losing the share, as no electronics brands would like to order memory from them. lol
>>534524189>An indicator that simply divides GDP by population is meaningless.>ignoring the fact that it's literally how economists measure average living standards, productivity, and real economic welfare per person>ignoring the fact that Japan's median age is only 4~5 years older than South Korea'sEnjoy the slow death while SK (despite even worse fertility) is still outpacing you on the metrics that actually matter for now.
South Korea is in a different comp group with countries like the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, maybe FranceJapan is competing against the like of Poland and in the near future countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and sadly even China even on a per capita basis, even Spain and Italy are a proper tier aboveComparing South Korea to Japan is a stale debate 5 to 10 years in past at this point
>>534514580Getting mogged by a former colony must be brutal
>>534524542I used the term “aging population” to make it easier for you to understand, but strictly speaking, it refers to the difference in the working-age population ratio.In other words, Japan’s working-age population (ages 15 to 64) accounts for 59% of the total population, while South Korea’s is 70%, so this figure simply reflects that difference.Population ages 15-64 (% of total population) - Japan, Korea, Rep.https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.1564.TO.ZS?locations=JP-KR
>>534517250After Samsung, SK has another 100+ companies that above all almost all Japanese companies
>>534526138Wrong. The number of workers is near meaningless in todays world it comes down to the talent and capabilities... this is why 1 elon musk or jeff bezos has a greater impact than 1 billion sub-saharan africans...this same logic applies
>>534514580There is even SK Hynix.It is also expected to achieve performance similar to Samsung's.Japan always cursed Samsung, wishing for its downfall, but instead, Samsung has surpassed all Japanese companies, and now there is one more company like Samsung in Korea lolFurthermore, the prediction is that if China invades Taiwan and TSMC is destroyed by China, whether by China or the US, Samsung will rise even further.
>>534526371It seems my point isn’t getting across, but what I mean is that the dark blue areas on the map have a high working-age population ratio, so the per capita GDP figure—which is simply calculated by dividing GDP by population—is inflated, making it a meaningless indicator.
>>534521935We need more of these country specific spam warriors. England and Brazil deserve one too
>>534514580>blocks your path
Japan abandoned the end-users market a long time ago because they know they cant compete due to high cost and lower birthrate.Japs know they literally cant compete with younger nation like Korea in those markets, so they switched to stuffs like manufacturing machines or essential chemicals Now Korean is competing directly with Chinks (bigger workforce, cheaper products) instead, but I doubt they have the tech lv as JP to shift their economyBut of course koreanfags were like “me see big numbers, me suck corpo dicks” While your birthrate is like the worst in the world lmao
>>534527036Funfact is that TEL is getting a lot of orders from this CXMT for DRAM etchers. It's laughable Samshit thinks they can monopolize this industry when they have no power in equipment/material fields.
Dumb japs are taitors instead of supporting their own industries they buy iPhones and now only Sony is left.
>>534523862In a country that is a good place to live, people live longer, so the proportion of elderly people in the population increases. Consequently, GDP per capita decreases in a country of good place to live.Americans have a short life expectancy, so their GDP per capita becomes high.
>>534521203Kek, even India is more advanced than Japan now
