Samsung Electronics just unveiled the earnings guidance for the fourth quarter of 2025 – things are looking up with increased sales and a big jump in operating profits.
The company is reporting KRW 93 trillion in sales ($64 billion) and KRW 20 trillion in operating profit ($13.8 billion). Here’s a table that compares this to previous quarters – the quarter before, as well as the year-ago quarter.
| (in trillion won) | 2025 Q4 | 2025 Q3 | 2024 Q4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated sales | 93 | 86.06 | 75.79 |
| Operating profit | 20 | 12.17 | 6.49 |
Note that these earnings guidance numbers are based on the K-IFRS standard. You can check out the press release for more details on estimated ranges (KRW 92-94 trillion in sales and KRW 19.9 to 20.1 trillion in profit).
Samsung had a strong Q3 2025 thanks to record-high sales from its memory business. And with the way things are going, RAM and SSD chips will probably bring in tons of cash in the upcoming quarter, but other Samsung divisions will feel the pressure of the higher memory prices. Samsung execs are already warning that they may have to “reprice” their phones.
