Against this backdrop, Kim Yong-kwan, the President and Head of Business Strategy at Samsung Electronics’ Device Solutions (DS) division, reportedly declared at a town hall meeting on July 03 that the division would meet the market's expectations vis-à-vis its operating profit for this year. Do note that analysts currently expect Samsung to report an annual operating profit of around 300 trillion won or ~$200 billion.
Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to report 84.5994 trillion won ($55.1 billion) in operating profit for the second quarter of 2026. If the South Korean behemoth does match these expectations, it will surpass NVIDIA's Q1 operating profit of $53.54 billion, officially becoming the world's most profitable enterprise.
