Samsung reports 95 percent profit drop, demand likely to recover in second half
Today, Samsung published financial results for the second quarter of the year. The company reports sales dropped 22 percent from a year ago, while operating profit plunged 95 percent. In early July, Samsung disclosed an estimation of second-quarter revenue and operating profit.
“Global demand is expected to gradually recover in the second half of the year which should lead to an improvement in earnings driven by the component business,” Samsung said in its earnings report.
The South Korean tech giant posted KRW 60.01 trillion in consolidated revenue, a 6 percent decline from the previous quarter due to a decline in smartphone shipments.
Meanwhile, operating profit rose sequentially to KRW 0.67 trillion as the DS Division posted a narrower loss, while Samsung Display and the Digital Appliances Business saw improved profitability.
Focus on new foldables alongside Galaxy S23 and Galaxy A
The MX Business will focus on the newly launched Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, which feature refined and differentiated user experiences, further fortifying Samsung’s leadership in the global foldable market.
For the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy A series, the company’s MX Business plans to enhance sales through close collaboration with its partners and sales programs tailored by region.
The MX Business will also focus on boosting sales of its tablets and wearables, with a strong focus on the Galaxy Tab S9 series and Galaxy Watch 6 series, which were announced this week at the Galaxy Unpacked event.
