삼성전자, 1분기 영업익 57조 달성… 실적 신기록 쐈다

Samsung Electronics achieved record Q1 operating profit of 57.2 trillion won, driven by surging global AI infrastructure investment and expanded HBM (high bandwidth memory) sales to major tech companies. This reflects a structural shift in memory demand as AI models scale from training to inference, where the company's supply dominance positions it to capture sustained growth through 2026 and beyond. The earnings milestone signals that AI infrastructure spending will underpin semiconductor profitability for years to come.
