Earnings calls
AI summary
positiveSamsung reported Q3 2026 revenue of KRW 195.3 trillion and operating profit of KRW 107.4 trillion, up 14% and 20% sequentially, with a 55% operating margin. Memory set a quarterly record on HBM4 and server demand; foundry earnings recovered on advanced nodes; System LSI faced weak mobile demand; MX revenue grew year-on-year on new foldables despite higher component costs. A weaker dollar, euro and other major currencies had a negative impact of about KRW 10 trillion on operating profit versus the prior quarter. CapEx was KRW 29 trillion in Q3, and full-year 2026 CapEx is expected at KRW 84.4 trillion. The board approved a Q3 cash dividend of KRW 4,601 per common and preferred share. Management expects Q4 company-wide earnings growth led by DS, with memory bit growth of mid- to high-teens for DRAM and mid-teens for NAND, and expects 2027 to exceed 2026 results on AI-driven semiconductor demand while DX faces continued profitability pressure.
Key takeaways
- Became the first global tech company to post quarterly operating profit above KRW 100 trillion, with revenue and operating profit at new highs for a fourth consecutive quarter.
- Memory expanded HBM4 sales; foundry continued earnings recovery on advanced-node sales, while System LSI was hit by weak mobile demand.
- Weaker dollar, euro and other major currencies had a negative impact of about KRW 10 trillion on operating profit versus the prior quarter, mainly in the component business.
- CFO said remaining 2026 shareholder return funds are estimated at KRW 55 trillion to KRW 75 trillion of a KRW 90 trillion to KRW 110 trillion total, to be executed via cash dividends and share repurchase and cancellation; final plans to be set at a late-January 2027 board meeting.
- Memory expects tight supply to continue in 2028, citing long fab lead times, higher equipment pricing, larger HBM die sizes and growing HBM share of bit production.
Financial highlights
- Q3 revenue KRW 195.3 trillion, up 14% quarter-on-quarter; operating profit KRW 107.4 trillion, up 20% quarter-on-quarter; operating margin 55% versus 52% in the prior quarter.
- Net profit KRW 75.1 trillion, up 5% sequentially; EPS KRW 11,462 for common shares and KRW 11,492 for preferred shares, both up 6% quarter-on-quarter.
- R&D expenses KRW 14.4 trillion; Q3 CapEx KRW 29 trillion (KRW 27.2 trillion DS, KRW 1.1 trillion Display).
- Memory: DRAM shipments up low- to mid-single-digit percent and NAND up mid-single-digit percent quarter-on-quarter; DRAM ASP up about 20% and NAND ASP up high-teens percent. MX revenue KRW 37.3 trillion, with combined MX and network operating loss of KRW 0.6 trillion.
Guidance
- Full-year 2026 CapEx expected at KRW 84.4 trillion, up KRW 31.7 trillion year-on-year, including KRW 76.8 trillion for DS and KRW 3.9 trillion for Display.
- Q4 2026 memory bit growth expected at mid- to high-teens percent for DRAM and mid-teens for NAND; management expects company-wide earnings growth led by DS.
- MX expects Q4 revenue to decline quarter-on-quarter; Visual Display expects Q4 TV demand to grow into year-end peak season.
- 2027: management expects to exceed 2026 performance with record results, citing strong semiconductor demand; Memory plans HBM4E mass production in H1 2027 and ramp in H2, and foundry expects 2-nano project orders to more than double in 2026 versus the prior year.
Q&A themes
- Memory supply outlook through 2028 and the limited near-term bit impact of higher 2027 CapEx
- Multiyear memory contracts: 10 major accounts signed, talks with 10 more, target of 60% to 70% of mid- to long-term capacity
- HBM: HBM4 sales up more than threefold quarter-on-quarter and 60% of HBM sales; 2027 HBM supply sold out at agreed target prices
- Foundry capacity expansion, 2-nano and 1.4-nano roadmap, Taylor fab progress, and foldable competition/display outlook
Risks
- Weaker dollar, euro and other major currencies had a negative impact of about KRW 10 trillion on operating profit versus the prior quarter.
- Rising memory and component costs are pressuring DX profitability, including MX and System LSI, with continued pressure expected in 2027.
- Memory cites macroeconomic uncertainty and potential macro events that could affect market conditions despite expected tight supply.

AI summary
mixedSamsung faced a challenging Q2 with consolidated revenue declining 5.8% QoQ to KRW 74.6 trillion and operating profit falling to KRW 4.7 trillion. However, the company expects a recovery in H2 2025 driven by strengthening AI server demand, improved memory pricing, and new product launches including foldable smartphones and an XR headset.
Key takeaways
- DS division revenue grew 11% QoQ driven by HBM3E and DDR5 server products, while DX division declined 16% due to diminished smartphone launch effects
- Memory business saw DRAM bit growth increase low-teens percentage and NAND bit growth exceed guidance at high-20% increase, with inventory levels normalizing
- Company expects H2 recovery with AI and robotics momentum, improved profitability in foundry from 2-nano mass production, and display strength from new smartphone launches
- Announced KRW 10 trillion share repurchase program with KRW 6.1 trillion acquired through May 2025; approved quarterly dividend of KRW 367 per share
- Expanding ecosystem strategy with TriFold smartphone, Galaxy XR headset, and acquired companies including Masimo Audio, FläktGroup, and Xealth for digital health
Financial highlights
- Total revenue: KRW 74.6 trillion (down 5.8% QoQ)
- Operating profit: KRW 4.7 trillion (down KRW 2 trillion QoQ), operating margin at 6.3% (down 2.2 percentage points)
- DS division revenue increased 11% QoQ; DX division revenue declined 16% QoQ
- CapEx: KRW 11.1 trillion (down KRW 0.9 trillion QoQ), with KRW 9.8 trillion allocated to DS division
Guidance
- H2 2025 expected to show gradual earnings improvement with AI and robotics momentum driving IT industry recovery
- Memory business: Server DRAM and NAND demand expected to remain strong; DRAM bit shipments projected to increase high single-digit percentage in Q3; NAND bit growth projected around mid-single percentage for Q3
- DS division targeting turnaround with reinforced technology leadership and addressing operational inefficiencies; expect improved profitability in foundry from expanding customer base and 2-nano mass production
- MX division aiming for double-digit foldables growth compared to last year; expecting increased smartphone shipments and ASP in Q3; anticipating modest premium segment growth despite overall smartphone market contraction
Q&A themes
- Tariff and geopolitical impacts: Company monitoring U.S.-Korea trade agreement and Section 232 semiconductor investigation expected mid-August; preparing response measures to minimize business impact
- Foundry major order win: Secured KRW 16.5 billion order from Tesla for advanced process technology; Taylor fab investments in 2025 within existing CapEx plan with higher CapEx expected in 2026
- Memory ASP dynamics: DRAM legacy product prices rebounded in Q2; NAND ASP decline limited to low-to-mid single digit; expecting sharper price increases in H2, particularly for legacy DRAM and planar NAND
- HBM competition and strategy: HBM3E supply growing faster than demand impacting near-term pricing; company focusing on balanced product mix while maintaining long-term HBM investment; HBM4 samples shipped to major clients with mass production expected
Risks
- Geopolitical and tariff uncertainties persist, including U.S.-China trade restrictions and potential semiconductor tariffs; Section 232 investigation findings could significantly impact business
