Samsung Electronics closes the year with record-breaking business results, as Q4 operating profit triples due to booming demand for AI servers and a global shortage of advanced memory chips. Quarterly revenue reached 93.8 trillion won (approximately $65.6 billion), surpassing forecasts, while operating profit increased to 20.1 trillion won, more than 200% higher than the same period last year and the company’s highest ever.
The main growth driver comes from the memory chip segment, especially high-bandwidth memory (HBM) – a key component in AI infrastructure for data centers. The demand for HBM far exceeds supply, driving up chip prices and significantly improving profit margins for Samsung and competitors like SK Hynix.
Conversely, the smartphone segment still faces pressure due to intense competition and slowing demand. Looking ahead to 2026, Samsung is betting on AI, with new AI experiences on the Galaxy S26 series to boost growth and profits.
