Samsung Electronics reported a third-quarter operating profit of 107.44 trillion won ($80.4 billion), up 783.1% year-on-year, marking the first time a global tech firm has surpassed 100 trillion won in quarterly profit. Revenue reached 195.25 trillion won, up 126.9%, with the semiconductor-focused Device Solutions division contributing 106.5 trillion won in operating profit, driven by AI chip demand.
