S&P revised Samsung Electronics’ outlook to positive and affirmed its long- and short-term ratings at AA-/A-1+.

Media reported on July 21 that Xiaomi has lifted its 2026 smartphone shipment target from about 90 mln to 110 mln units (≈+16%), citing a source who said the move reflects expectations of a storage-price reversal; Xiaomi did not comment. IDC China research manager Guo Tianxiang said Xiaomi’s production plan is 90–95 mln units, its full-year shipment target has not fallen below 100 mln, and the current target range is 100–110 mln. Guo added a storage-price inflection is unlikely near term: H2 memory prices should not climb as sharply as H1 but are expected to remain near current highs rather than drop materially.
