[UPDATE] Samsung's Q3 preliminary results due Oct 8; consensus near 106-108T won on memory demand
Samsung is scheduled to release preliminary Q3 revenue and operating profit on Oct 8. The Korea Herald cited an FnGuide consensus of 108.1T won in operating profit, which would be the first 100T-won quarter, with memory and HBM driving the gains. Investing.com noted that estimates have drifted lower over the past 90 days and that big beats were not rewarded after Q2. These are analyst estimates, not company guidance. Points to watch: the headline figure against consensus, and any HBM4 or contract-pricing commentary relevant to memory peers such as MU.
