        "summary": "Samsung Electronics' shares jumped over 10% on Tuesday, propelled by strong investor interest in AI-related stocks, pushing the company's market capitalisation above 1 trillion US dollars and making it the second Asian firm to reach this milestone after TSMC. The surge followed impressive first-quarter 2026 results, including record revenue of 133.9 trillion won and operating profit exceeding the full-year 2025 total. Positive market sentiment was further boosted by reports of potential US-based chip production collaboration with Apple and Intel, alongside broader regional stock gains and declining oil prices.",
        "content": "<p>Samsung Electronics shares surged more than 10% during trading on\nTuesday (5 May 2026), driven by strong investor interest in artificial\nintelligence (AI)-based stocks. This increase propelled the company\u2019s\nmarket capitalisation to surpass 1 trillion US dollars. With this\nachievement, Samsung became the second Asian company to reach a 1\ntrillion US dollar valuation after TSMC. Quoted from CNBC on Wednesday\n(6 May 2026), the strengthening of Samsung\u2019s shares came after the\ncompany\u2019s financial performance recorded impressive results in the first\nquarter of 2026. The company\u2019s revenue also set a new record at 133.9\ntrillion won. Indeed, the first-quarter operating profit exceeded the\ntotal profit for the entire 2025 fiscal year, which was recorded at 43.6\ntrillion won. In addition, positive sentiment also came from a Bloomberg\nreport stating that Apple is exploring collaboration with Samsung and\nIntel to produce Apple device chips in the United States. This move is\nseen as an effort to diversify suppliers, beyond their main partner to\ndate, TSMC. The rise in semiconductor sector shares pushed the benchmark\nKospi index up more than 5%, breaking through the 7,000 level for the\nfirst time. The strengthening of the Kospi also aligned with positive\ntrends in the Asia-Pacific stock markets. Regional exchanges opened\nhigher following the rally on Wall Street, supported by falling oil\nprices and solid corporate financial performances. Market sentiment also\nimproved in line with signals of easing tensions in the Middle East. On\nthe other hand, global oil prices were recorded as weakening. The West\nTexas Intermediate contract fell around 1.96%, while Brent corrected by\n1.27%. This decline in energy prices also supported investor interest in\nrisk assets, including technology stocks.<\/p>",
