Samsung Electronics said its third-quarter operating profit likely reached KRW 107.40 trillion, pushing the company above KRW 100 trillion in quarterly profit for the first time as AI-related memory demand tightened supply. The preliminary guidance gives the world’s largest memory-chip maker another record quarter and adds fresh evidence that the AI infrastructure buildout is flowing directly through to the semiconductor supply chain.
