Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (KR7005930003) guided third-quarter sales of KRW 195.00 trillion and operating profit of KRW 107.40 trillion on October 8, 2026. The company said the figures were based on K-IFRS and represented the median of its internal estimate ranges, according to Samsung Global Newsroom.
Target stays at KRW 670,000
Nomura kept its KRW 670,000 target and Buy rating for Samsung Electronics in a memory-market report dated October 19, 2026, as reported by Financial News. The report argued that memory supply bottlenecks could persist through 2028, while also identifying competition from China's CMXT technology as a risk.
What does the guidance mean?
The guidance implies a sharp year-on-year acceleration. Third-quarter sales were KRW 86.06 trillion and operating profit was KRW 12.17 trillion in the third quarter of 2025, while second-quarter 2026 sales reached KRW 171.50 trillion and operating profit reached KRW 89.49 trillion, according to the company release. The third-quarter operating-profit guide therefore stands KRW 95.23 trillion above the year-earlier figure and KRW 17.91 trillion above the second-quarter result.
Three dates frame the setup
On October 8, 2026, Samsung published third-quarter guidance of KRW 195.00 trillion in sales. On October 19, 2026, Nomura maintained its KRW 670,000 target. On October 29, 2026, Samsung is scheduled to announce its third-quarter results and hold its earnings call.
Next reporting date
