Samsung Electronics posts record Q3 operating profit above 100 trillion won
Samsung Electronics reported preliminary third‑quarter 2026 results showing operating profit of 107.4 trillion won, the first time the South Korean group has topped the 100 trillion‑won threshold. Revenue rose 127 % year‑over‑year to 195 trillion won, driven by a surge in memory‑chip sales for AI infrastructure. The operating margin expanded to 55.1 %, up 2.9 percentage points from the prior quarter. Analysts note that a stronger won and slower memory‑price growth could temper future earnings momentum.
