Samsung announced its earnings guidance for the second financial quarter, which spans the months of April, May and June, and the early indications are quite impressive. Samsung’s estimates suggest KRW 89.4 trillion ($58.8 billion) in profits and KRW 171 trillion ($112.5 billion) in revenues.
| Consolidated figures based on K-IFRS | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in trillion won) | 2026 Q2 (guidance) | 2026 Q1 | 2025 Q2 |
| Sales | 171 | 133.87 | 74.57 |
| Operating profit | 89.4 | 57.23 | 4.68 |
To put these numbers into perspective, Samsung’s combined profits over the last three years came in at KRW 82.87 trillion ($54.6 billion). That’s KRW 6.53 trillion ($4.2 billion) less than the Q2 2026 estimates alone. The latest figures represent a 19-fold jump in profits compared to the results from Q2, 2025. Revenues are up a staggering 129% from a year ago.
As expected, Samsung’s Device Solutions arm, which produces semiconductors, is the big breadwinner. This growth is driven by AI companies’ spending on DRAM, HBM and NAND chips. It doesn’t seem that this trend is slowing down any time soon. Samsung’s full Q2 report is set to be released on July 30.
