According to FnGuide, Samsung Electronics is expected to post an operating profit of around 110 trillion won and revenue of around 204 trillion won in the third quarter of this year. This would surpass the record high quarterly operating profit of 89.4924 trillion won set in the second quarter, and would also mark the first time Samsung Electronics' quarterly operating profit exceeds the 100 trillion won threshold.
This forecast is based on the following analysis: with AI server demand continuing to grow, the memory market remaining robust, and shipments of sixth-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM4) beginning to rise significantly, the semiconductor business is expected to drive the company's overall performance to new heights. In addition, a narrowing of losses in non-memory businesses (such as foundry) will also contribute to profit growth in the Device Solutions (DS) division.
