Samsung estimated third-quarter operating profit at 107.4 trillion won

Samsung Electronics published preliminary third-quarter results on October 8, 2026. Expected consolidated revenue is about 195 trillion won, with operating profit of about 107.4 trillion won.

Preliminary guidance and disclosure rules

The estimates are prepared under K-IFRS and remain preliminary. Korean disclosure rules do not allow a forecast to be published as a range, so the release states the median of the estimates: sales of 194 to 196 trillion won and operating profit of 107.3 to 107.5 trillion won.

Quarter comparison

For comparison, the company cites the second quarter of 2026: operating profit of 89.49 trillion won on revenue of 171.5 trillion. In the third quarter of 2025, the figures were noticeably more modest: 12.17 trillion won in profit and 86.06 trillion in revenue.

Using the median values, operating profit grew almost ninefold compared with the same quarter a year earlier and by about 20 percent from the previous quarter. Revenue more than doubled year over year and rose about 14 percent from the previous quarter.

The comparative figures for the second quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025 are presented on a consolidated basis under K-IFRS.
