Samsung Electronics reported a preliminary consolidated revenue of 171 trillion won and an operating profit of 89.4 trillion won for the second quarter of this year.
The company disclosed its preliminary results on July 7. Compared to the previous quarter, revenue increased by 27.74%, while operating profit rose by 56.21%. Year-over-year, revenue surged by 129.31%, and operating profit skyrocketed by 1,810.26%.
Notably, the operating profit surpassed the $53.5 billion (approximately 81.86 trillion won) achieved by its client, U.S. company NVIDIA, in the first quarter of the 2027 fiscal year (February to April 2026), marking the largest quarterly operating profit among global private companies.
Market analysts attribute this strong performance to improvements in the memory market, particularly high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and the sales impact of new smartphone products.
The results are based on preliminary figures prepared in accordance with the Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS). Detailed performance by division has not been disclosed, and final results are expected to be announced at the end of this month.
Since 2009, Samsung Electronics has been the first domestic company to disclose quarterly preliminary results, providing investors with early insights into its financial performance and supporting assessments of corporate value.
During the earnings conference call, Samsung will address pre-submitted questions from investors, focusing on key issues such as semiconductor business performance, the outlook for the AI semiconductor market in the second half, and strategies for its foundry business.
