Samsung Electronics posts Q1 operating profit of 57.2 trillion won, up 756 percent

Samsung Electronics said it posted record first-quarter results, with sales rising 69.16 percent from a year earlier to 133.9 trillion won and operating profit jumping 756.10 percent to 57.2 trillion won. Profit was driven by semiconductors as the DS division posted record sales and operating profit amid higher memory prices and growing demand for AI products. The company said currency moves also helped and R&D spending reached 11.3 trillion won.
