Samsung Electronics has recently launched a new countertop dishwasher, aiming to expand its home appliance offerings. This move comes as the company seeks to diversify its product portfolio and capitalize on growing consumer demand for smart home appliances.Meanwhile, Hitachi is reportedly considering selling its Japanese white goods business, as the company looks to focus on its social infrastructure and digital segments. This decision follows a decline in sales due to Japan's shrinking population [1].
In the South Korean market, shares have rallied on optimism over US rate cuts, but they fell due to tax revision plans. The South Korean government's proposed tax hikes have raised concerns among investors, leading to a mixed reaction in the stock market [2].
Apple has seen a surge in iPhone sales, with more than 3 billion units sold since the device's debut in 2007. However, the company is facing significant challenges, including a $1.1 billion tariff burden in the upcoming quarter. Apple has been shifting its manufacturing strategy to mitigate these costs, with a significant portion of iPhones now being assembled in India [3].
Nomura has adjusted Samsung Electronics' price target to KRW84,000 from KRW80,000, maintaining a buy rating. The adjustment reflects the company's strong fundamentals and optimism over its growth prospects [2].
