Samsung Electronics shares jumped 8.9% in Seoul trading, spearheading a broad-based rebound across Asian equity markets on Friday.
The sharp advance helped erase losses from a volatile Thursday session, as investors returned to risk assets following positive sentiment from the US market.
The rally was fueled by news that Samsung Electronics has been honored with two awards at an annual international semiconductor conference.
The accolades recognize the company's advancements in next-generation memory technologies, highlighting its continued push to regain technological leadership in the sector.
The stock's performance underscores the market's sensitivity to developments in the memory chip segment, where Samsung competes fiercely with SK Hynix and Micron.
Recognition of technical progress in next-generation nodes is often viewed by investors as a leading indicator of future market share gains and margin resilience.
