The memory semiconductor super cycle is working out well for Samsung's bottom line. The company is expected to release its earnings guidance for the first quarter of this year tomorrow.
Analysts expect that Samsung Electronics will forecast over 50 trillion won or $33 billion in operating profit, a record high for the company. This would be very close to Samsung's operating profit for the entire year in 2025.
Memory boom brings in a lot of dollars
It would represent an over 400% increase for the quarterly operating profit compared to the same period last year, highlighting just how lucrative the insatiable demand for memory has been for Samsung.
Samsung Electronics offers a large range of memory semiconductors to customers, from legacy DRAM to cutting-edge high-bandwidth memory that's in high demand from some of the world's leading AI chipmakers such as NVIDIA. The soaring NAND flash memory prices have also contributed to Samsung's stellar performance this past quarter.
The company's mobile division is expected to post promising results as well, after seeing considerable response for its latest flagship lineup, the Galaxy S26 series, even though the handset went on sale only in the last few weeks of the quarter.
Analysts expect this to be a great year for Samsung as the demand for memory shows no signs of slowing down. Samsung is also pushing ahead with new deals for its foundry, which would further enable the company to hit new record highs for its operating profit.
