Samsung Forecasts Record $80 Billion Q3 Profit Amid AI-Driven Memory Chip Demand
Samsung Electronics forecast a record third-quarter operating profit of 107.4 trillion won (USD 80 billion), marking a nearly ninefold increase year-on-year driven by strong demand for AI-related memory chips. Revenue is expected to rise 127 percent to 195 trillion won. Despite these record figures, some reports note the results slightly missed analyst expectations. The surge is attributed to high-bandwidth memory sales amid a global chip shortage, while Samsung's mobile division faced losses due to rising component costs. Full earnings details will be released later in October.
