Goldman Sachs said in a research note that Samsung Electronics' second-quarter operating profit met expectations. The bank raised its earnings per share (EPS) forecasts for Samsung for 2026 to 2028 by around 2%, and lifted its 12-month target price for the stock from 480,000 won to 490,000 won. Goldman Sachs expects memory chip demand to significantly outpace supply, with the gap widening in 2027 and supply remaining tight in 2028. The bank noted that Samsung’s long-term agreements with major data center clients will provide better earnings visibility and downside protection. Additionally, Samsung aims to become a leader in the AI memory market; HBM4 is projected to account for over 60% of its HBM revenue in the second half of 2026, and the stock has significant upside potential for shareholder returns. The stock is currently trading at a 2027 forecast price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 3.1x and a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.2x, with a shareholder return yield approaching 50%.

Hyperinsight data shows CXMT’s current hourly funding rate has fallen to -0.2430%. Static calculation at the current rate gives a simple annualized yield of roughly 2129%. For a $10,000 position, short sellers pay ~$24.3 hourly, while long positions earn an equal amount; if the rate holds for 24 hours, total funding fees would hit ~$583.3. The largest CXMT long address starting with 0x9a8 is the key beneficiary of this round of negative rates. Records indicate the address has completed 183 CXMT funding fee settlements since the morning of July 15, generating cumulative net income of ~$991,400, a 45.9% return on its position principal. The whale currently holds a 5x isolated long position of 1.6332 million CXMT, worth ~$12.742 million, with an average entry price of $6.6156. CXMT trades at $7.80, delivering ~$1.938 million in unrealized profit (89.7%) on the position, and has a liquidation price of just $0.507. Based on the current position and static -0.2430% rate, the whale will earn ~$31,000 in funding fees in the next hour; if the rate stays for 24 consecutive hours, that would be ~$743,000. As of press time, CXMT is at $7.8020, up ~5.13% in 24 hours, with a trading volume of ~$17.277 million and open interest of ~$76.9 million. Its oracle price is ~$8.1941, with the contract still trading at a 4.79% discount, as short position demand continues to drive up funding fee income for longs. The whale has placed 7 non-reduce-only buy orders between $6.01 and $6.41, planning to buy an additional 98,000 CXMT (notional value ~$609,000) and has not yet opted to close its existing long position.

Renowned tech journalist Mark Gurman reported that the iPhone is expected to see a price increase of $100 to $200 (equivalent to roughly 675 yuan to 1,350 yuan). Gurman stated Apple will definitely raise prices this year, citing multiple factors. First, the company is facing shortages of memory chips and main device processors. Additionally, the new camera system featured in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max carries higher costs, not to mention the more expensive design of Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Thus, the only question is how Apple will implement this round of price hikes. Gurman believes recent price increases for iPads and Macs have provided some context: multiple iPad and Mac models have seen their prices raised by $100 to $200. He projects the iPhone will see a similar price increase of $100 to $200. As for the foldable iPhone, consumers should prepare for a starting price of at least $2,000.
