Samsung Electronics shares rallied sharply in Seoul trading, spearheading a wider recovery across Asian technology stocks on Friday.
The advance helped erase losses from a volatile Thursday session, as investors positioned themselves ahead of the company's upcoming quarterly earnings report.
The 8.9% jump in Samsung's stock price signaled renewed confidence in the semiconductor giant's outlook.
Traders appear to be betting on positive guidance or stronger-than-expected results, particularly in the memory chip segment, which has been a key driver of the company's recent performance.
This move comes after a period of volatility for technology shares globally.
US stock markets had opened higher on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite posting early gains as investor sentiment improved.
