Samsung has released its earnings guidance for the second financial quarter of 2026, covering April, May, and June, and the early indicators are remarkable. According to Samsung’s estimates, the company anticipates profits of KRW 89.4 trillion ($58.8 billion) and revenues of KRW 171 trillion ($112.5 billion).

|---|---|---|---|
| (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 provide context, Samsung’s combined profits over the past three years totaled KRW 82.87 trillion ($54.6 billion), which is KRW 6.53 trillion ($4.2 billion) less than the estimated figures for Q2 2026 alone. These latest projections indicate a significant 19-fold increase in profits compared to Q2 2025, while revenues have surged by an astonishing 129% year-over-year.
As anticipated, Samsung's Device Solutions division, which specializes in semiconductors, is the primary revenue driver. This growth is largely fueled by increased spending from AI companies on DRAM, HBM, and NAND chips, and this trend does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Samsung's complete Q2 report is scheduled for release on July 30.
