The South Korean tech giant is expected to reach an operating profit of about US$44 billion or KRW 52.83 trillion which is also the company’s highest since the year 2018.
One of the main causes of the explosive growth is said to be linked to the recent demand for semiconductors.
Daishin Securities researcher, Soo-bin Lee stated that “Samsung Electronics is expected to enter the upcycle of DRAM memory semiconductors in the new year,” while another researcher, Yu-mi Cha, said that “The situation of automotive semiconductor parts shortage will improve after the first half of the year.”
On the other hand, is LG which recently exited the smartphone market, is expected a record performance this year as well.
Its overall sales and operating profits are expected to reach about US$16 billion or KRW 19.67 trillion and US$700 million and KRW 831.3 billion respectively.
However, while the company saw record-high revenue, its operating profits were lower than the first quarter of this year.
Even at this rate, the company is projected to hit US$62 billion or KRW 73.70 trillion in annual sales for the first time in this history while its annual operating profit is expected to reach around US$3 billion or KRW 4 trillion.
