Samsung Reports Record Quarterly Profit Driven by HBM

Samsung Electronics reported fourth-quarter results on Thursday, posting record revenue of 93.8 trillion won ($65.6 billion) and operating profit of 20.1 trillion won, both above LSEG SmartEstimate forecasts. Revenue rose about 24% year‑on‑year and operating profit climbed over 200%, driven by a surge in memory-chip prices and strong demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI servers.
