Seoul, 30 April 2025 – 2025 – Samsung Electronics reported a dramatic rise in its operating profit for the quarter that began in January of 2025. The results highlight the significant growth of its core business following an uneasy period. The South Korean tech giant earned 6.6 trillion won (approximately $4.8 billion) in operating profit during January and March. This total marks a huge increase over the 640.2 billion won Samsung posted during the same period last year.
The rebound in Samsung’s semiconductor division led to the turnaround. The division returned to profitability after five straight quarters of losses. The chip business generated 1.91 trillion won in operating profit. This figure was driven by rising prices and growing demand for high-performance memory like DDR5 and NAND flash. These products are especially important for AI servers and data centers.
Samsung’s mobile division played a key role in the company’s strong quarterly performance. The successful launch of the Galaxy S24 series—Samsung’s first AI-powered smartphones—significantly boosted performance. The mobile division posted 33.5 trillion earned in revenue and 2.5 trillion made in operating profits, which indicates the increasing demand from consumers for high-end AI features as well as premium smartphones.
The company generated 71.9 trillion won in total revenue for the quarter, marking a 12.8 percent increase from the previous year. The result was higher than the expectations of the market. Analysts had predicted an operating margin of 5.6 trillion won for the quarter.
Samsung’s impressive Q1 results are an excellent beginning to 2025. Samsung’s strong performance will help it gain a foothold in both semiconductor and mobile markets. Global demand for AI infrastructure and new-generation devices is increasing. The company is in a favorable position to continue its growth all through the year.
Investors and industry watchers believe Samsung’s tech-focused strategy, coupled with AI technology, could lead to growth across its main segments of business.
