Samsung Reports Q2 2026 Record Revenue and Profit
Samsung Electronics reported record revenue and operating profit for Q2 2026, driven primarily by a strong performance in its semiconductor business and robust demand for server solutions supporting AI workloads. The company posted revenue of 171.5 trillion won (approx. €104.2 billion) and an operating profit of 89.5 trillion won (approx. €54.4 billion). Memory products benefited from rising prices and demand for AI infrastructure, with Samsung advancing high-performance memory technologies such as HBM4 and DDR5. The Device Experience segment declined due to higher component costs and weaker consumer demand in some markets, though Galaxy S26 sales remained solid. Samsung expects continued AI-driven demand in H2 2026 but also flags cost pressure and muted consumer spending as challenges.
Samsung posts record profit, announces record dividend
Samsung reported an operating profit of €71.68 billion for Q3 2026, a nine-fold increase year-over-year, marking its fourth consecutive record quarter. Revenue rose 127% to €130 billion, slightly below market expectations. The surge is driven by soaring memory chip prices due to a global data center construction boom, particularly for AI high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Samsung plans to invest in additional production capacity and seeks long-term supply contracts to mitigate pricing volatility. Despite the strong results, Samsung's stock fell 2.4% in Seoul, while Hynix and Micron also declined. The company's smartphone division suffered an unexpected loss of €894 million due to rising component costs. Samsung will also distribute a record €73 billion to shareholders this year.
