Samsung Forecasts Nearly Nine-Fold Q3 Profit Rise on AI-Driven Chip Demand
Samsung Electronics is projected to report a nearly nine-fold increase in third-quarter operating profit, reaching approximately 107 trillion won (around $80 billion), driven by strong demand for AI-related memory chips amid a global supply shortage. This marks the company's fourth consecutive quarter of record profits, although some analysts have recently lowered forecasts due to moderating chip price growth and currency effects. Despite robust sales, concerns remain about the sustainability of the AI-driven chip boom and potential market risks through 2028.
