KRSamsung SDI, the second-largest battery manufacturer in South Korea, reported its first operating profit in seven quarters, exceeding market expectations. The company achieved an operating profit of 203.8 billion won ($141.6 million) for Q2, compared to analysts' projection of a 14.8 billion won loss and a 397.8 billion won loss in the same period the previous year. Revenue increased by 18.5% to 3.77 trillion won, with net profit reaching 471.6 billion won. The recovery was attributed to higher-margin product sales, U.S. tax incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, and tariff refunds. While the battery division contributed significantly to the profit, the company did not provide detailed breakdowns of the contributing factors.
