Samsung Projects Strong Fourth-Quarter Profit

Samsung Electronics expects fourth-quarter 2025 sales of approximately 93 trillion Korean won and operating profit of about 20 trillion won, according to earnings guidance released Jan. 8. The estimates are based on Korean International Financial Reporting Standards.

The company said the figures represent the median of analyst estimate ranges, as South Korean disclosure regulations prohibit companies from issuing earnings forecasts as a range. The underlying estimates put sales between 92 trillion and 94 trillion won and operating profit between 19.9 trillion and 20.1 trillion won.

The projected results would exceed Samsung’s third-quarter 2025 sales of 86.06 trillion won and operating profit of 12.17 trillion won. They would also be higher than the company’s fourth-quarter 2024 sales of 75.79 trillion won and operating profit of 6.49 trillion won. Final results are expected to be released later by the company.
