The ruling, delivered on Thursday, upholds a lower court’s decision to dismiss allegations that Lee orchestrated an $X billion merger between Samsung C&T and Cheil Industries to tighten his control over the tech conglomerate after his father’s incapacitation in 2014. The acquittal removes a major legal hurdle for Lee, enabling him to focus fully on steering Samsung’s long-term strategy, particularly its push to lead in the global artificial intelligence chip race. “This clears a layer of legal uncertainty, which could be a long-term positive for Samsung,” said Ryu Young-ho, senior analyst at NH Investment & Securities. “If Lee takes a more active role, it could allow management to prioritise long-term goals over short-term pressures.” Investor response was swift. Shares of Samsung Electronics rose XXX% following the verdict, outperforming the KOSPI index, which closed nearly flat. Analysts attributed the rally not only to Lee’s legal victory but also to shifting market sentiment after Goldman Sachs downgraded Samsung’s key rival SK Hynix, triggering a XXX% drop in its shares.
