[South Korean Memory Giants to Release Q3 Earnings Reports; Combined Operating Profit Expected to Reach 185 Trillion Won] According to Jinse Finance, on October 25th, South Korean chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will release their third-quarter earnings reports next week. Strong demand for AI memory chips is expected to drive substantial profits for both companies. SK Hynix is scheduled to release its earnings report on Wednesday, followed by Samsung Electronics on Thursday. Market estimates suggest that driven by rising memory chip prices and continued growth in demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI accelerators, the combined operating profit of the two companies is expected to reach approximately 185 trillion won (equivalent to US$139.4 billion). Samsung Electronics previously projected third-quarter revenue of 195 trillion won and operating profit of 107.4 trillion won in its earnings forecast. Investors will closely monitor the progress of the two chipmakers in supplying next-generation HBM4 chips for AI accelerators such as Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform. Driven by strong demand for traditional memory chips and high-end HBM products, SK Hynix is also expected to deliver impressive financial results.
