The company simultaneously warned that the shortage of memory chips is expected to intensify in the coming year, signaling that the supply-demand imbalance remains a critical bottleneck for the industry.
Samsung’s profit surge follows a broader turnaround for the group, which previously reported a 1,800% year-over-year jump in second-quarter operating profit.
This development underscores the structural shift in the memory market, where AI-driven demand has outpaced production capacity.
