Samsung Electronics Co. advanced as much as 2.3 percent in Seoul trading after Daewoo Securities Co. and HI Investment & Securities Co. raised their share-price estimates and earnings estimates. Asia’s biggest maker of chips, flat screens and mobile phones climbed to 879,000 won as of 9:41 a.m. on the Korea Exchange. The benchmark Kospi Index gained 0.7 percent. Samsung reported better-than-expected profit on Oct. 7 after demand for Galaxy smartphones outweighed slumping sales of displays and semiconductors.
