Samsung Electronics is expected to report another operating loss at its Mobile eXperience and network business in the third quarter of 2026, even as strong Galaxy Z foldable sales support handset demand. The preliminary earnings release is due in early October 2026, with the pressure coming from sharply higher memory prices and limited ability to raise device prices.
