Samsung Electronics is poised to post quarterly operating profit above 100 trillion won ($74 billion) for the first time, with its DRAM margin seen topping 80 percent. Estimates from DB Securities, Mirae Asset Securities and BNK Securities put Samsung's Q3 operating profit at an average 107.7 trillion won, up 20.3% from the previous quarter. Analysts attribute the strong margins to a shift in memory-makers allocating more capacity to HBM and high-capacity server products, tightening conventional DRAM supply.
