Samsung Electronics forecasts record second-quarter operating profit driven by AI chip demand.
Samsung Electronics announced preliminary second-quarter guidance projecting operating profit of approximately 10.4 trillion won, a roughly 1,810% increase from the same period a year earlier. The surge was attributed to strong demand for memory chips used in artificial intelligence applications, which lifted prices. This marks the third consecutive quarter of record profit for the company.
