Samsung Electronics earned more operating profit in the first half of 2026 — KRW 146.7 trillion on revenue of KRW 305.4 trillion, a 48% margin — than it earned in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 put together. In the first quarter, 93.9% of that profit came from a single division, Device Solutions, which three years earlier lost KRW 14.9 trillion in a year. In the same period the consumer business that carries the Samsung name has been squeezed by its own supplier: Device eXperience operating profit fell from KRW 3.5 trillion to KRW 1.3 trillion in one quarter, the television and appliance business lost money in a record year, and the mobile division is reported to be heading for its first ever loss — all of it because memory prices rose, and Samsung is both the seller and the buyer. This is a full institutional-grade equity research report on Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (KRX: 005930), built into eight structured chapters and 67 rebuilt charts.
