Samsung said it expects third-quarter operating profit to reach about 107.4 trillion won, or about $80 billion, in preliminary guidance released ahead of its full results later this month. That would be the company’s first quarter above 100 trillion won and its fourth consecutive quarterly record, alongside revenue projected at 195 trillion won.

What it means
In practice, Samsung’s earnings update changes the scale of what is being reported: the quarter is now being framed as the company’s first above-100-trillion-won operating profit, where earlier quarters were already at record levels. The later full results are still due this month, so the preliminary figure is not yet the final report.
