![Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd said on Thursday it expects chip shortages to affect chip
demand from some customers in the final three months of the year, after reporting its
highest quarterly profit in three years. The warning comes as producers of goods from
televisions to cars have faced a host of supply chain issues ranging from a shortage of
logic chip parts, manpower shortages, logistics snarls, and delays at parts plants due to
power cuts in China.
Samsung said demand for server DRAM chips, which temporarily save data, and
NAND flash chips that serve the data storage market, is expected to stay robust in the
fourth quarter due to expansion of data Centre investments. Although supply chain
issues could limit demand from some mobile chip customers in the fourth quarter,
demand for server and personal computer chips is expected to be robust in 2022 despite
uncertainties, it said.
Analysts expect Samsung's fourthquarter earnings to be level or below its third quarter
result, largely depending on memory chip prices. Smaller rival SK Hynix on Tuesday
struck a more optimistic note than U.S. peers and forecast steady demand for memory
chips.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdb72e28a-40cf-4e0b-babe-9ae5dd59d0fc%2Fd9cfe852-cbb4-4ecd-86d5-a4b5c3cd70a9%2Fxk75sb_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
