Memory drives the result

The Device Solutions division posted KRW 147.1 trillion in revenue and KRW 106.5 trillion in operating profit. Samsung says its memory business set quarterly records for revenue and operating profit. It credits sales of HBM4 and strong demand from AI applications.

Phones and the mobile unit

The MX and Networks businesses posted combined revenue of KRW 37.7 trillion and an operating loss of KRW 0.6 trillion. Samsung says revenue rose from the previous quarter and from a year earlier, mainly because of new flagship launches, including foldables. Earnings improved from the previous quarter but fell from a year earlier because of cost pressures.

Shareholder payout

What Samsung plans for the last quarter of 2026
