Samsung Reports Record Quarterly Profit Driven by AI Chip Demand
Samsung Electronics reported a record operating profit of 107.4 trillion won (approximately USD 80.5 billion) for the third quarter, driven by strong demand for AI-related memory chips. Revenue also reached a record 195.3 trillion won, marking the company's fourth consecutive quarter of record profits and sales. Samsung expects AI chip demand to outpace supply through 2027 amid expanding AI infrastructure investments. However, shares fell over concerns about the sustainability of AI spending and a worsening memory chip supply shortage forecasted for 2027. South Korean rivals, including SK Hynix, also reported strong earnings amid the AI boom, while some analysts and the central bank caution about economic risks tied to chip dependency.
