Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (KS:005930) delivered record-breaking revenue and profit in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven largely by booming demand from the artificial intelligence industry for advanced memory chips. The South Korean tech giant reported an operating profit of 20 trillion won (approximately $13.98 billion) for the three months ended December 31, matching its earlier forecast and marking a more than threefold increase from 6.49 trillion won in the same period last year. Quarterly revenue surged to an all-time high of 93 trillion won, up from 75.79 trillion won a year earlier. Memory chip prices climbed sharply throughout the fourth quarter and are expected to continue rising in the near term as AI-driven demand accelerates. Advanced memory solutions are a critical component in AI workloads, supporting large-scale data processing and model training.
