Samsung Electronics reported a remarkable KRW 133.9 trillion in consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2026, achieving a 43% increase from the last quarter of 2025. The company’s memory division, part of Device Solutions (DS), reached an all-time high with KRW 81.7 trillion in revenue, largely due to high-value products catering to the AI market. Operating profit for the memory division also surged to KRW 53.7 trillion, compared to KRW 1.1 trillion a year ago. However, the mobile division (MX), led by TM Roh, is facing challenges with potential annual losses despite generating KRW 38.1 trillion in revenue. The mobile division's performance was supported by a focus on premium models and cost optimizations, but a decline in revenue is anticipated in the upcoming months. Samsung aims to bolster flagship sales and enhance its position in the foldable smartphone market. The company’s overall operating profit reached KRW 57.2 trillion, reflecting strong performance across its divisions, despite some seasonal challenges in other areas like Samsung Display Corporation (SDC) and the Foundry business.
