Reported by Business Korea HBM on October 26, 2026. Summarized and analyzed by XAIPART Editorial.

What happened

Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are expected to release third-quarter earnings on October 28 and October 29, respectively, with their combined operating profit projected at 184 trillion won, or approximately $139.04 billion.S1 Samsung previously reported preliminary revenue of 195 trillion won and operating profit of 107.4 trillion won, an operating-profit increase of 782.50% year on year.S1 SK hynix is forecast to generate approximately 98 trillion won in revenue and around 77 trillion won in operating profit.S1

The source attributes the earnings improvement primarily to HBM demand associated with expanding AI data-center investment, rising server and conventional DRAM prices, and increased enterprise SSD demand supporting NAND flash prices.S1 Both companies are preparing to expand HBM4 supplies for Nvidia next-generation AI accelerators.S1

XAIPART take

Technical impact

HBM4 preparation for Nvidia next-generation accelerators points toward an earlier design-in cycle for engineers evaluating high-bandwidth memory, power delivery, packaging, and thermal requirements. XAIPART analysis suggests that procurement teams should request supplier roadmap, qualification, and package-capacity information before treating HBM4 samples as production alternatives.

Market impact

The reported HBM4 expansion and 70% to 80% long-term-agreement coverage indicate that allocation risk may remain more important than spot pricing for engineering teams. XAIPART analysis recommends buyers secure memory allocation terms, delivery windows, and change-control provisions early, while checking whether rising DRAM, NAND flash, and enterprise SSD prices affect the wider bill of materials.

Action

Buyers should qualify HBM4 and conventional memory supply paths in parallel, with escalation paths for constrained production and qualification delays. XAIPART analysis also recommends monitoring each supplier's capital expenditure, financing announcements, and foundry economics because those constraints could affect how quickly additional output becomes available.

XAIPART Forecast

XAIPART expects Samsung Electronics and SK hynix to publish fewer than 2 combined HBM4 capacity or customer-qualification updates within 3 months if announced supply expansion remains predominantly descriptive; this forecast is wrong if the companies disclose at least 2 actionable capacity, allocation, or qualification milestones.XAIPART analysis

Facts are as reported by the cited source. The design-in, sourcing and forward-looking statements above are XAIPART's analysis, not the source's claims. The article provides a single-source earnings projection and does not disclose specific HBM4 allocation volumes, qualification timing, or long-term-agreement pricing terms.
