Samsung Posts Record $80B Q3 Profit as AI Memory Demand Surges 782%

Samsung Electronics reported preliminary third-quarter operating profit of 107.4 trillion won ($80.2 billion), a 782% year-over-year increase, marking the first time the company exceeded 100 trillion won in a single quarter. Revenue is forecast at approximately 195 trillion won, up 127% from the same period last year. The surge is driven by robust demand for memory chips used in AI data centers, with Samsung competing alongside SK Hynix and Micron. Despite the record-breaking figures, Samsung shares dipped 0.7% as investors felt the performance fell short of elevated expectations. Full earnings details, including divisional breakdowns, are expected later in October.
