Samsung has announced its earnings guidance for the second financial quarter, covering April, May, and June, with impressive preliminary results. The company estimates profits of KRW 89.4 trillion ($58.8 billion) and revenues of KRW 171 trillion ($112.5 billion).
| 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 contextualize these figures, Samsung’s total profits over the past three years reached KRW 82.87 trillion ($54.6 billion), amounting to KRW 6.53 trillion ($4.2 billion) less than the Q2 2026 estimates alone. This latest guidance reflects a remarkable 19-fold increase in profits compared to Q2 2025 results, with revenues soaring by an impressive 129% year-over-year.
Unsurprisingly, Samsung's Device Solutions division, which manufactures semiconductors, continues to be a major contributor to this growth. This increase is largely attributed to rising spending by AI companies on DRAM, HBM, and NAND chips. The upward trend does not appear to be slowing down any time soon. Samsung plans to release its full Q2 report on July 30.
