Samsung Electronics said on Monday it posted preliminary consolidated results for the first quarter of 2026, with revenue of 133 trillion won and operating profit of 57.2 trillion won. Revenue rose 68.06 percent from a year earlier and operating profit jumped 755.01 percent.

Operating profit in the first quarter of 2025 was 6.69 trillion won, meaning it increased more than 8.5 times in a year.

Revenue also rose by more than 53.86 trillion won, from 79.14 trillion won in the same period to 133 trillion won. Revenue and operating profit both grew sharply, helped by higher average selling prices for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DRAM as AI demand continued to rise.

Growth was also strong from the previous quarter, the fourth quarter of 2025. Revenue rose 41.73 percent from 93.84 trillion won, and operating profit jumped 185 percent from 20.07 trillion won.

The operating margin was about 43 percent. That was a sharp improvement in profitability compared with the previous quarter's margin of about 21.4 percent.

Detailed results by business division were not included in the preliminary results disclosure. More specific segment revenue and profit-and-loss details are expected to be released when final results are announced.
