Earlier this month, Samsung mentioned that it expects its profits to be the highest in the past three years.

Samsung Electronics posted its third-quarter earnings today, and according to the numbers, its revenue was KRW 86.1 trillion (~$60.3 billion), while its operating profit was KRW 12.2 trillion ($8.54 billion). The company's revenue was 8.8% higher than the third quarter of 2024, and its profit surged 32.5%. These numbers are better than what analysts expected, and all of this is due to improved sales of its smartphones and semiconductor memory chips.



With a 19% improvement in the sales of semiconductor chips, the company said its memory chip business achieved all-time-high quarterly sales. It also sold an impressive amount of server SSDs and HBM3E chips used in AI servers.



Moreover, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 helped the company achieve 11% higher revenue in Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025.



The company expects the AI and smartphone markets to remain strong for the rest of the year. It is prioritizing high-end products, like HBM chips and high-end smartphones, to improve its profitability even further. It confirmed that it has shipped HBM4 chip samples to key clients, which is positive sign for future business.



Samsung also hinted that it will ship its next flagship Exynos chip, the Exynos 2600, for high-end smartphones that will be sold early next year. It will also ramp up the production of 2nm semiconductor chips while improving fabrication plant utilization and optimizing production costs.
