Samsung's Q4 profit of 2025 is forecasted to reach a record high in the KRW (South Korean won) 20 trillion (£13.8 trillion) range, triple that of the previous year's fourth quarter, marking the South Korean company's largest quarterly performance to date. The spike is reportedly powered by an artificial intelligence (AI) component price surge.
The £13.8 trillion operating profit for the October-December period surpassed Samsung's record of 17.6 trillion won (£9 trillion) in Q3 of 2018. Global leader in chipmaking, Samsung Electronics' over 200% increase in its consolidated operating profit is due to the impact of the burgeoning AI memory market, per Reuters.
