Samsung Electronics projects Q1 operating profit of 57.2 trillion won, over eight times the 6.69 trillion won a year earlier.

The outlook reflects strong AI chip demand, especially high‑bandwidth memory, as generative AI drives data‑center and infrastructure spending.
Previous quarter profit was 20.07 trillion won on 93.84 trillion won revenue, showing significant quarter‑on‑quarter improvement.
