Samsung Projects Strong Fourth-Quarter Profit

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

Under Korean disclosure rules, companies cannot issue earnings estimates as a range. Samsung said the announced figures represent the median of its internal estimate ranges, which were 92 trillion to 94 trillion won in sales and 19.9 trillion to 20.1 trillion won in operating profit.

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

Samsung said the figures are preliminary guidance. The company is expected to release its finalized fourth-quarter results later.
