Samsung Electronics annual operating profit forecast triples in a year
Samsung Electronics shares rose to a record intraday high on Dec. 30, pushing its market value to about 710 trillion won after topping 700 trillion won a day earlier. A year ago, profit forecasts sank amid low-priced Chinese competition and tariff worries. Since then, AI-driven demand and stronger memory prices have reversed sentiment. Broker forecasts now point to sharply higher profits in late 2025 and 2026, with some estimates exceeding market consensus.
