# Samsung Expects Record 107.4 Trillion Won Quarterly Profit as AI Memory Demand Soars

*2026-10-11 02:00 UTC · Technology · 1 min read*

> Samsung guides to a record Q3 operating profit of 107.4 trillion won (about $80 billion), driven by AI memory demand.

Samsung Electronics guided to a third-quarter operating profit of about 107.4 trillion won (roughly $80 billion), up nearly ninefold from a year earlier and the first time a South Korean company has passed 100 trillion won in one quarter. Sales are expected at about 195 trillion won, up 127%, and the result tops the LSEG SmartEstimate of 106.1 trillion won.

The chip division generates nearly all of the profit, driven by AI server demand, tight supply of conventional DRAM and NAND, and rising shipments of high-bandwidth memory. Analysts expect the supply gap to last into 2027, while pricier memory is squeezing margins in Samsung phones and TVs.

This is Samsung's fourth straight record quarter, up about 20% from 89.5 trillion won in Q2. Full results with the divisional breakdown are due October 29.
