Samsung Electronics expects third-quarter operating profit to reach a record 107.4 trillion won, up 782.5% year-on-year. Strong demand for AI-related memory chips drove the surge, while revenue is expected to rise 126.6% to 195 trillion won.
Samsung Electronics issued third-quarter earnings guidance on 8 October, estimating consolidated operating profit of 107.4 trillion won and sales of 195 trillion won. Its release lists operating profit of 12.17 trillion won for the same quarter last year. The guidance therefore indicates a substantial annual increase. These are preliminary estimates under Korean reporting standards, rather than final divisional results. The company identifies the headline figures as midpoints of its estimate ranges.
