Samsung Reports Record Third-Quarter Operating Profit of $80 Billion Driven by AI Demand
Samsung Electronics reported preliminary third-quarter operating profit of 107.4 trillion won ($80 billion), marking a historic first-time crossing above the 100 trillion won threshold. This represents an increase of over 782% compared to the same period last year, driven by strong demand for AI-related memory chips and other technologies. Revenue in Q3 reached approximately 195 trillion won, up nearly 127% from a year ago. The company has seen significant growth due to its leadership position as the world's largest memory chipmaker catering to AI infrastructure needs. Samsung also announced an AI-focused partnership with French startup Mistral AI earlier this month. Samsung plans to release full third-quarter earnings details, including divisional breakdowns, later in the month.
