Samsung's Q1 2026 earnings release guidance estimates a 68% YoY growth in sales

Samsung is expecting final consolidated sales of 133 trillion Korean won, which would be a 54 trillion won increase from Q1 2025.

The Samsung company has announced its guidance ahead of its upcoming Q1 2026 earnings results, and its good news for shareholders. Samsung has estimated it will finish Q1 with sales around 68 percent up year-over-year from Q1 2025.

Samsung announced this guidance on its investor relations website this week, prepping shareholders for the news when it finally releases its Q1 2026 earnings results on April 30, 2026. Samsung estimates its consolidated sales will finish at a bottom line of 133 trillion Korean won (approximately $88.6 billion USD). That would indeed be up 68 percent from the 79.1 trillion won it put up in Q1 2025. It’s also up substantially from the 93.8 trillion won announced in its Q4 2025 earnings results.

As a major manufacturer and distributer of RAM and storage components, Samsung has been in stellar position to capitalize and cash in on the current supply shortage and high demand for these particular PC components. It hasn’t been all wins for the group. It launched and discontinued a tri-fold smartphone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, only three months after it was announced.

Still, with the rest of its business running hot on the back of global demand for its products, Samsung arguably has plenty of reason to be confident in its Q1 2026. As we wait for the official release, stay tuned to the Samsung topic for updates.
