(KPL/Yonhap) Samsung Electronics Co. will hold executive-level meetings later this month to discuss business strategies for the second half of the year, industry sources said Wednesday.

The global strategy meetings for the company's electronics division are scheduled for June 17–19, according to the sources.

Samsung holds these meetings twice a year, in June and December, led by the heads of each business division. They review regional and business-specific issues, as well as discuss next year's goals and sales strategies.

This year's agenda is expected to include strategies for navigating rising global uncertainties, including the shifting trade policies of U.S. President Donald Trump's second administration. Participants will also assess supply chain vulnerabilities and consider region-specific responses, the sources said.

Roh Tae-moon, acting head of the Device eXperience (DX) division, and Jun Young-hyun, head of the Device Solutions (DS) division, will preside over the meetings.

As in previous years, Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong is not expected to attend the meetings, they said.

The DS division, which oversees Samsung's semiconductor business, is expected to hold in-depth discussions on sales strategies and ways to boost long-term competitiveness.

Samsung lost its top spot in the global dynamic random access memory (DRAM) market to SK hynix Inc. in the first quarter and continues to face challenges in high bandwidth memory (HBM) and foundry operations.

According to market research firm Omdia, Samsung's global DRAM market share fell to 34.4 percent in the first quarter from 38.6 percent the previous quarter. In contrast, SK hynix's share rose from 36 percent to 36.9 percent, overtaking Samsung for the first time.
