Samsung Electronics has become the first global technology company to record more than 100 trillion won in operating profit in a single quarter, according to the findings of a fact-check review finalized on May 27, 2022.
The review, which examined 12 primary sources, concluded that the claim — that a global tech company surpassed 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit for the first time — is accurate.
The figure places Samsung Electronics at the top of the global technology industry by quarterly profitability, driven in large part by the strength of its semiconductor business, including memory products.
The result was reached after a review of primary sources conducted as part of a fact-check series, with the final judgment recorded as fact. No company in the global technology sector had previously reported a quarterly operating profit above the 100 trillion won mark.
The claim, initially circulated as "a global tech company has surpassed 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit for the first time," is True.
