Samsung's Q2 operating profit is expected to reach 89.4 trillion won, a year-on-year increase of 1810%

According to an official announcement from Samsung Electronics, it has officially disclosed its performance guidance for the second quarter of 2026. Based on the Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS), Samsung Electronics expects consolidated sales for the quarter to be approximately 171 trillion won (with an estimated range of 170 trillion to 172 trillion won) and consolidated operating profit to be around 89.4 trillion won (with an estimated range of 89.3 trillion to 89.5 trillion won).

Data shows that compared to the same period last year, Samsung Electronics achieved a significant leap in performance for this quarter. In comparison, its consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2025 were 74.57 trillion won, and operating profit was 4.68 trillion won; in the previous quarter (the first quarter of 2026), its sales were 133.87 trillion won, and operating profit was 57.23 trillion won.

This strong performance is mainly attributed to the ongoing artificial intelligence boom, which has driven a surge in demand and price increases for high bandwidth memory (HBM) and other advanced storage chips. It is reported that Samsung Electronics will release a detailed complete financial report later this month.
