LG Electronics Posts Record Preliminary Q2 2026 Performance

South Korean technology giant LG Electronics posted its highest-ever preliminary earnings for the second quarter of 2026, according to a company statement on Tuesday. Preliminary operating profit surged 146.9 per cent from a year earlier to 1.58 trillion won in the April-June quarter. Preliminary revenue rose 14.9 per cent to 23.83 trillion won in the quarter. Both revenue and profit marked the highest figures for a second quarter in the company’s history. LG explained that the record was achieved as the company’s core businesses, such as home appliances and televisions, experienced increased sales amid a rise in air conditioner sales in overseas markets, which offset concerns stemming from uncertainty in the Middle East. Net income and detailed earnings for each business unit will be announced this month.
