Samsung Group has been making frequent moves recently. According to foreign media reports on June 7, Samsung Group Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong will discuss investment acquisitions during his planned visit to Europe from June 7 to 18, and will target NXP, one of TSMC's major customers. The industry interprets this move as Samsung's main focus on the automotive semiconductor market, and this round of acquisitions will also be an important strategy for Samsung to poach TSMC customers.
In fact, news that Samsung Group is interested in acquiring European manufacturers has been circulating since 2021, including major companies such as Dutch company NXP and German company Infineon. However, due to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Samsung's overseas contacts were not smooth and were temporarily suspended. This time, Lee Jae-yong started his overseas trip after a six-month absence. In addition to aiming to invest in or acquire NXP, Germany's Infineon and the UK's ARM will also be contacted for cooperation.

It is worth mentioning that there are other reports that Lee Jae-yong will also visit ASML in the Netherlands, aiming at purchasing the latest EUV equipment and cooperating on next-generation equipment.
You know, Samsung is actively catching up with TSMC, and EUV is a key equipment. Lee Jae-yong's personal visit to ASML this time has a strong meaning of consolidation.
In addition, it is rumored that the price of next-generation EUV equipment has soared to a new high. It is understood that the latest model, the EXE:5200 system, which was first ordered by Intel, was initially estimated to cost more than US$400 million.
