Apple chip rumor helps Samsung hit $1T valuation

Samsung’s market value topped $1 trillion after a Bloomberg report about Apple’s early talks with Samsung and Intel on future chip production.

The report sent Samsung shares up 14%, with investors also buoyed by strong demand for AI chips.

The rumor suggests Apple could diversify beyond TSMC for future A-series and M-series chip manufacturing.

Any shift in Apple’s supplier mix could reshape semiconductor partnerships and market sentiment across the sector.
