Samsung MX risks historic quarterly loss, triggered by soaring chip costs

Samsung MX may report its first-ever quarterly loss in Q2 2026. This potential deficit occurs despite strong sales of the flagship Galaxy S26 series.

Skyrocketing memory chip prices are severely squeezing profit margins. Analysts forecast a potential Q2 operating profit of $1.38 billion. Bearish estimates predict a quarterly loss of $1.09 billion.

The division previously reported a $2.04 billion operating profit in Q1 2026.
