Samsung Q3 Profit Soars 783% on AI Chip Boom

Samsung Electronics reported a third-quarter operating profit of 107.44 trillion won ($80.4 billion), up 783.1% from a year earlier, on record revenue of 195.25 trillion won (up 126.9%), according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The semiconductor (DS) division alone contributed about 106 trillion won, making Samsung the first global tech firm to top 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit, Business Korea reports. The company will also pay 30 trillion won ($22.5 billion) in Q3 dividends, a more than 12-fold increase per share, to address its sluggish share price. Korean media frame the results as an 'AI chip supercycle' driving the surge, with Samsung SDI also swinging to profit on ESS battery demand.
