On January 8th, Samsung Electronics released its preliminary performance report for the fourth quarter of 2025.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the consolidated sales reached 93 trillion Korean won, an increase of 22.7% year-on-year, setting a new historical high. Operating profit increased by 208.2% year-on-year, reaching a record high of KRW 20 trillion (approximately USD 13.8 billion). Compared to the historical high of 17.57 trillion yuan in the third quarter of 2018, it has increased by about 14%, breaking a seven-year historical record.

Samsung Electronics' performance this time far exceeded market expectations, with a previously widely predicted operating profit of approximately KRW 18 trillion.

This unexpected performance is mainly due to tight supply and continued expansion of global investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure, driving the strong recovery of the storage chip industry, and the industry's recovery trend has been fully verified.

The industry expects that with the continuous development of AI technology and the acceleration of global data center construction, Samsung Electronics, as a leading storage chip company, is expected to continue its strong growth trend.
