Tech giants are releasing earnings reports one after another. After Microsoft and Meta published their earnings in the early hours of today, Apple and Amazon will report their results in the early hours of tomorrow. The highly anticipated NVIDIA earnings, however, won’t be released until August 26. Metrics including AI chip demand, data center revenue, gross margin, and forward guidance will act as a barometer for the performance of cloud computing, AI capital expenditure, advertising, and consumer electronics sectors. Besides earnings, several key conferences deserve attention. The Future Memory and Storage Conference, scheduled for August 4 next week, has participants including Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, NVIDIA, and others, and is of great significance to the storage industry chain. Hot Chips 2026, taking place from August 23 to 25, is one of the most notable technical conferences in the fields of chip architecture and AI hardware. NVIDIA’s Vera CPU, HBM architecture, advanced packaging, and new-generation processors from multiple companies will be unveiled at the event, which may impact expectations for the CPU, GPU, HBM, and packaging industry chains.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Samsung SDS is advancing cooperation in the digital asset sector with Dunamu, the parent company of Upbit. The two sides are discussing areas including stablecoin infrastructure, virtual asset financial system integration, and AI-based next-generation payment services, and plan to further clarify specific business models. Lee Jun-hee, CEO of Samsung SDS, stated that the company’s equity investment in Dunamu is not a purely financial investment, but a strategic move to enter the digital asset infrastructure business.
