Samsung Electronics achieved a record quarterly operating profit of 100 trillion won, marking the first time among global tech companies to surpass this figure. The semiconductor division was the primary driver, contributing 99% of the total operating profit. Memory sales saw a substantial increase, driven by demand for 6th generation HBM4 and server SSDs, leading to significant growth in DRAM and foundry performance.
