Samsung Electronics reported a record preliminary operating profit of 57.2 trillion won in Q1 2026, a 755% year-on-year increase that exceeded expectations due to strong memory chip demand and rising prices, placing it alongside major global tech firms such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Nvidia and Apple; this marks its highest-ever quarterly profit, surpassing past annual records, and with AI-driven demand continuing to grow and supply constrained, profits are expected to rise further, with full-year 2026 projections exceeding 240 trillion won and analysts predicting the company will strengthen its position among the world’s most profitable firms while remaining undervalued compared to competitors like Nvidia and TSMC.
