Benefiting from DRAM quotations, Samsung s Q3 profit challenges a three-year high for the same period

Global demand for AI computing is booming, and DRAM memory has entered an era of rising prices. South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics is seizing business opportunities. Analysts are generally optimistic about Samsung’s operating performance, and third-quarter profits are expected to challenge a three-year high.

Reuters reported that Samsung, the world's largest memory chip manufacturer, will announce its preliminary financial report for the third quarter of 2025 on the 14th. Currently, stock market analysts predict that Samsung's third-quarter operating profit will increase by 10% year-on-year to 1.01 trillion won (approximately US$7.11 billion), benefiting from the rise in memory prices driven by AI, reaching a new high for the same period since 2022.

According to the latest survey by TrendForce, as major memory manufacturers prioritize their production capacity on high-profit high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and crowd out traditional DRAM production capacity, DRAM quotations continue to rise. In the third quarter of 2025, DRAM prices surged 171.8% compared with the same period last year.

On October 10, Samsung Electronics’ stock price surged 6.07% to close at 94,400 won, just one step away from the historical high of 96,800 won set in 2021.
