In the third quarter of 2025, its operating profit soared to 7 trillion won (approximately 4.9 billion USD), far exceeding analysts’ projections of 4.7 trillion won. This robust performance signals that the burgeoning global demand for artificial intelligence is propelling a resurgence in the company’s core business.
Leveraging the strong recovery within the semiconductor industry, Samsung Electronics witnessed a remarkable 31.81% year-on-year increase and a staggering 158.55% quarter-on-quarter surge in its third-quarter operating profit, which reached 12.1 trillion won—a three-year peak.
