Background & analysis
On October 29, 2026, Samsung Electronics confirmed its third-quarter results, posting an operating profit of 107.44 trillion won (about $80.5 billion) on revenue of 195.25 trillion won. A SiliconANGLE report published that morning quoted the company saying it had set a new quarterly profit record for the technology industry, attributing the surge to soaring demand for the memory chips fueling the AI boom.
Later that day, The Next Web published a follow-up piece recording third-quarter operating profit at 107.4 trillion won (about $80 billion), likewise pointing to continued demand for memory chips used in AI data centers. The report added a timeline detail: the figures confirm the preliminary results Samsung released earlier that month, when it said profit was roughly nine times higher than a year earlier. The two reports differ slightly in their figures, one giving 107.44 trillion won and about $80.5 billion, the other 107.4 trillion won and about $80 billion.
As of the latest reports, Samsung has formally confirmed the record quarterly profit as a done deal. The company has offered no further moves beyond citing AI-driven memory demand as the driver behind the numbers.
