Samsung Electronics’ stock price fell below 50,000 won (around US$35.5), affected by concerns over potential United States policy changes regarding semiconductor incentives.

The company’s shares dropped to 49,900 won (around US$35.5), marking their first close below the 50,000-won mark since June 2020.

This decline occurred as foreign investors sold shares, amid skepticism about Samsung’s competitiveness in semiconductors.

Analysts note uncertainties will continue until the incoming US administration clarifies its stance on the Chips and Science Act. Concerns focus on regulations affecting semiconductor exports to China.
