  • Samsung Press Information
    Company Overview History of Samsung Samsung's history dates to 1938 when "Samsung General Stores" opened in North Kyung- sang Province, Korea. The company conducted its trade business until the 1950s when it became a producer of basic commodities such as sugar and wool. In 1958, Samsung be- came involved in the insurance industry by incorporating a local fire & marine insurance company. During the 1960s, Samsung became one of the first Korean companies to actively expand its overseas trade. The group consolidated its manufacturing base by adding paper and fer- tilizer businesses. Samsung continued with expansion into the life insurance business, strengthened its retail operations and then moved into the communications sector, success- fully establishing a newspaper and a broadcasting company. The 1970s were a crucial period in shaping present-day Samsung. Its strengths in the semi- conductor, information and telecommunications industries grew from the significant in- vestments made during this period. Samsung also took a meaningful step toward heavy industries by venturing into aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding and construction, as well as chemical industries. In the 1980s, Samsung expanded its efforts into exploring the larger markets overseas. The group began contributing to foreign economies by building facilities in the US, the UK and Portugal. Samsung also invested considerable resources into fostering Korea's rich heritage by supporting a wide range of cultural and artistic activities. The final decade of the 20th century saw the evolution of Samsung's new approach to management. Chairman Kun-Hee Lee's insightful vision and the introduction of the "New Management" in 1993 acknowledged the need to transform management philosophy in or- der to keep up with a rapidly changing global economy.

The last closing price (Apr 1) sits above our new TP, thus we maintain HOLD. Bull-case scenario applied to reflect As our bull-case scenario—international oil prices surpass USD60.00/bbl, which is based on rise in international oil price and solid WTI crude oil, and new order wins exceed USD7.0bn—is currently playing out, we apply a 20% new order wins premium to sustainable ROE. WTI crude recently climbed to the USD60.00 level/bbl while 2021’s new order wins look highly likely to exceed USD7.0bn amid an already solid order influx. 1Q21 new order wins at USD4.9bn; In 1Q21, SHI won 39 orders for merchant vessels totaling USD4.9bn (34 containerships, four 2021 annual guidance for merchant VLCCs, one LNG carrier) but no orders for offshore plants.
