Samsung Electronics Co. said Monday it has secured a 22.8 trillion-won ($16.4 billion) order to supply semiconductors to a major undisclosed customer.
\nIn a regulatory filing, the South Korean tech giant said it signed a foundry contract set to be completed by Dec. 31, 2033.
\nThe company did not disclose the identity of the client or the specifics of the deal, citing “management confidentiality.”
\nThe contract accounts for 7.6 percent of the company’s total revenue of 300.9 trillion won last year and marks the largest chip order ever won by Samsung Electronics.
\nThe deal is expected to give a much-needed boost to its foundry division, which has long struggled to catch up with global industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
\nIn its earnings guideline released earlier this month, Samsung Electronics estimated an operating profit of 4.59 trillion won and sales of 74 trillion won for the second quarter.
\nIn particular, operating profit failed to meet market expectations, mainly due to the sluggish performance of the foundry and the System Large Scale Integration divisions.
\nFollowing the announcement, shares of Samsung Electronics rose 2.43 percent to trade at 67,500 won as of 9:37 a.m., outperforming the broader KOSPI’s 0.26 percent decline.
