Samsung May Report Record Quarterly Profit; Implications for Micron Technology
Samsung Electronics is expected to report preliminary third-quarter results this week, with analysts forecasting a record operating profit of around 106.94 trillion won — potentially the first time it exceeds 100 trillion won in quarterly earnings. This would represent an increase from its second-quarter result and reflect strong performance across divisions like memory chips. The report is particularly important for Micron Technology, one of Samsung’s key competitors in the memory market. While Micron recently reported record results driven by rising DRAM prices, there are signs that price growth has slowed compared to previous quarters. Management expects continued revenue increases but at a more moderate pace with higher gross margins. Investors will be watching how strong pricing power persists and whether Samsung’s numbers signal broader trends in the memory market — which could affect Micron's future performance.
