Capital expenditure measures investment in assets such as equipment and facilities; it is different from revenue or operating profit. Samsung’s quarterly release reported ₩29 trillion, an increase of ₩12.2 trillion from Q2 and ₩19.8 trillion from Q3 2025.
The earlier bars are calculated by subtracting those reported changes: 29 − 12.2 = 16.8 and 29 − 19.8 = 9.2 trillion won. These are selected comparison quarters, not a continuous quarterly series. The figures do not isolate spending solely on AI.
