Samsung Electronics has opened the era of 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit for the first time in South Korean corporate history.

Samsung Electronics announced in a regulatory filing that its consolidated operating profit for the third quarter of this year was provisionally tallied at 107.4 trillion won, a 782.5% increase compared to the same period last year.

Surpassing 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit is a milestone that even global big tech companies such as Apple and NVIDIA have not reached, internationally trailing only Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil giant Aramco.

Samsung Electronics has been extending its streak of record-breaking performance for four consecutive quarters starting from the fourth quarter of last year.
