Due to robust sales of server memory chips, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. reported a 12 percent increase in quarterly earnings on Thursday. As macroeconomic uncertainty lingers, the business forecasts that demand for mobile and PC processors will continue to fall.


According to the world's largest manufacturer of memory chips for cell phones, operating profit increased to 14.1 trillion won ($10.8 billion) for the quarter ending June 30, up from 12.57 trillion won a year ago. This is the company's best profit for any quarter since 2014, and its highest profit for the second quarter since 2018.


In addition, the company's earnings exceeded its own projections of 14 trillion won.


The rise in revenue was 21%, amounting to 77,2 trillion won.


A strong dollar, which reached a 20-year high, also aided chip earnings, increasing Samsung (KS:005930 operational profit )'s by around 1.3 trillion won from the previous quarter.


The majority of Samsung's chip sales are handled in U.S. dollars, but the business reports profitability in Korean won; hence, a strong U.S. dollar boosts earnings from semiconductors.
