This story is from the archive. It was covered between 8 October 2026 and 8 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

The tech giant is also expected to get a boost from its latest folding devices that were launched in August.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center Samsung’s record profit and tie it to strong chip demand linked to AI spending. Bloomberg Technology gives the fuller earnings readout, with one extract saying results were just shy of elevated expectations and the other quoting a CLSA analyst on the memory cycle; CNBC instead foregrounds its headline forecast that third-quarter operating profit would top 100 trillion won for the first time.
