flag Samsung’s Lee warns against complacency despite record profit, stressing urgent innovation and investment to close competitiveness gaps.

flag Samsung’s Chairman Lee Jae-yong warned executives against complacency despite a record $13.8 billion quarterly profit in Q4 2025, driven by a global memory chip shortage. flag He called it a “last chance” to rebuild competitiveness, urging innovation, AI-driven management, and talent acquisition. flag Speaking at the company’s first major executive seminar in nine years, Lee emphasized a “do-or-die” mindset amid ongoing challenges in the semiconductor foundry market, where Samsung trails TSMC. flag While the non-memory division improved and foundry operations rose to 60%, long-term success depends on sustained investment, including in 2nm technology and partnerships like the one with Tesla. flag Experts caution that short-term gains won’t offset deeper competitiveness gaps.
