Samsung Electronics announced its official financial results for the second quarter of 2025, reporting revenue of KRW74.6 trillion (US$53.5 billion) and an operating profit of KRW4.7 trillion, consistent with preliminary figures. Compared to the same period in 2024, revenue remained roughly flat, but operating profit was halved, with Samsung attributing the decline primarily to weak performance in its semiconductor business.
Chief Telecom posted a record-high first-half 2025 revenue of NT$2.08 billion (approx. US$70 million), an 18.7% increase from NT$1.75 billion a year earlier, fueled by growing demand for AI-optimized data centers. The figure nearly equals the company's full-year revenue in both 2019 and 2020, underscoring a sharp growth trajectory.
