SEOUL (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics (OTC:) Co Ltd’s third-quarter profit rose 28% to its highest in three years, as strong memory chip prices, chip contract manufacturing and display sales outweighed increased costs to produce consumer electronics.
Operating profit rose to 15.8 trillion won ($13.48 billion) for July-September, from 12.35 trillion won a year earlier, the world’s top maker of memory chips and smartphones said.
That was in line with the company’s estimate of 15.8 trillion won earlier this month.
($1 = 1,172.0300 won)
