Samsung Electronics Co. posted a record $3.4 billion loss at its pivotal memory chip division, but said it expects the global tech industry to begin emerging from its downturn later this year.
It joined SK Hynix Inc. in predicting some relief from a broad tech recession that’s hit the world’s biggest names from Apple Inc. to Intel Corp.
