Revenue hit a new high of 195.3 trillion won, up 14% from the previous quarter. The semiconductor business earned 106.5 trillion won on 147.1 trillion won in revenue, with memory sales and profit hitting new records thanks to strong server demand and higher prices. Mobile and TVs and home appliances posted losses. Samsung expects to spend about 84.4 trillion won across the whole year, and rival SK Hynix also reported record profit, expecting the memory shortage to last until 2030. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why did Samsung's profit jump so much this quarter? Samsung's Q3 operating profit hit a record 107.4 trillion won (about $80bn), driven almost entirely by its semiconductor business, which earned 106.5 trillion won on 147.1 trillion won in revenue. The memory unit set new records for sales and profit due to strong server demand, higher prices, and growing sales of HBM4 high-bandwidth memory used alongside AI processors. _Engineers tracking AI hardware supply and pricing trends can follow memory market shifts on daily.dev._ ### How long is the AI memory chip shortage expected to last? SK Hynix, a rival memory chipmaker, expects the memory shortage to last until 2030, after also reporting record profit. Samsung similarly expects memory sales to keep growing into the fourth quarter as new CPU and GPU platforms reach the market, with double-digit revenue growth forecast for its foundry business. _Teams planning around AI hardware availability can follow memory supply forecasts on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Samsung expects record $80bn quarterly profit as AI memory demand soars](https://daily.dev/posts/samsung-expects-record-80bn-quarterly-profit-as-ai-memory-demand-soars-zjazbx6ag) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Samsung sees no respite as memory shortage set to worsen](https://daily.dev/posts/samsung-sees-no-respite-as-memory-shortage-set-to-worsen-cor036clw) · TechCentral · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AI boom pushes Samsung to $1T](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-boom-pushes-samsung-to-1t-sd56defet) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Samsung Electronics crosses $1tn, joining TSMC](https://daily.dev/posts/samsung-electronics-crosses-1tn-joining-tsmc-xj4len54h) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#samsung](https://daily.dev/tags/samsung), [#ai-infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-infrastructure) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/samsung-posts-record-80bn-quarterly-profit-on-ai-memory-demand-pn3nvxjdn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Samsung posts record $80bn quarterly profit on AI memory demand","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/samsung-posts-record-80bn-quarterly-profit-on-ai-memory-demand-pn3nvxjdn","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/samsung-posts-record-80bn-quarterly-profit-on-ai-memory-demand-pn3nvxjdn"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T09:17:51.153Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T09:18:16.194Z","description":"Samsung posted a record operating profit of 107.4 trillion won (about $80bn) in the third quarter, driven almost entirely by chips.
