Samsung Electronics обяви, че очаква рекордна оперативна печалба от около 15,1 трилиона вона (около 14,13 млрд. долара) за последното тримесечие на 2017г. Това е по-малко от прогнозата на Ройтерс от 15,9 трилиона вона оперативната печалба, но вероятно е с 64% повече от преди година. За цялата 2017 г. Samsung обяви, че очаква консолидирана оперативна печалба от около 53,6 трилиона вона срещу 239,6 трилиона вона печалба от продажби. На фондовия пазар акциите на Samsung спаднаха с 3,11%, вероятно поради продължителни съмнения относно бизнес перспективите на компанията. „Мисля, че спада се дължи предимно на смартфонте“, заяви пазален анализатор за CNBC „Все още мисля, че полупроводниците, задвижвани от паметта и дисплея, и OLED дисплеите, наистина се справят добре.“ Smsung предвиди в началото на годината, че продажбите на смартфони няма да постигнат очакваните резултати, най-вече заради силната конкуренция на пазара. Технологичния гигант от Южна Корея ще разкрие данните за пълните си приходи в края на януари. Добрите финансови резултати се дължат на процъфтяващия бизнес с полупроводници, които са основен източник на печалби. Това, според Samsung, се дължи на силното търсене на чипове с памет от центровете за данни и новите смартфони. В този смисъл Samsung Electronics се счита за перлата в короната на конгломерата на Samsung Group, която се състои от 60 взаимосвързани компании и е една от големите семейни компании в Южна Корея.

South Korea's Samsung Electronics has posted a record net profit for the fourth quarter at 7.04 trillion won (US$6.6 billion). This was attributed to strong sales of devices such as its Galaxy S3 and Note 2, but the firm warned of headwinds in 2013, such as higher costs and a stronger won. Net profit jumped by 76 percent from the previous year. This was on the back of 56.06 trillion won (US$52.4 billion) revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2012--an increase of 18.5 percent. Consolidated operating profit increased 10 percent from the previous quarter to hit 8.84 trillion won (US$8.3 billion), also a record high according to a Reuters report. The latest financial results were in line with Samsung's earnings guidance disclosed earlier on January 8, which estimated fourth quarter consolidated revenues of approximately 56 trillion won (US$52.3 billion) and consolidated operating profit of approximately 8.8 trillion won (US$8.2 billion). Full-year 2012 operating profit was 29.05 trillion won (US$27.2 billion) on revenue of 201.10 trillion won (US$188.1 billion), according to Samsung in the statement. For its strong performance, Samsung highlighted its mobile communications business, which generated a quarterly revenue of 27.23 trillion won (US$25.4 billion), an increase of 4 percent compared with the previous quarter. This growth was driven mainly by the strong sales of the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 devices, which "beat the popularity of their predecessors with record sales in record time." "Despite uncertainties in Europe and concerns over the US fiscal cliff creating a difficult business environment, we did our best this quarter to achieve strong earnings based on a strategic focus on differentiated and high value-added products, as well as our technological competitiveness," said Robert Yi, senior vice president and head of investor relations at Samsung. "Heading into this year, we are expecting a slow recovery in the component business due to reduced capital expenditures, while competition in the set business will intensify further as demand slows and the mid- to low-end market expands," he said, also noting the growing strength of the Korean won. Samsung also said that the growth spurt in the worldwide smartphone market in 2012 is expected to be tempered by intensifying price competition from the entry of new products. In the statement today, it predicted that in this year's first quarter, smartphone demand in developed countries would slow down. However, the year would see demand go up in emerging markets --described as a "silver lining"--with the introduction of affordable smartphones and a growing appetite for tablets.
