Samsung flags 10-fold rise in first-quarter profit as chip prices recover

Samsung Electronics has projected a more than 10-fold increase in operating profit for Q1 2023. The rebound in semiconductor prices has boosted the company's earnings from a low base last year. The estimated operating profit of 6.6 trillion won ($4.89 billion) surpasses expectations, indicating improved margins and demand for NAND flash chips. However, revenue fell short of expectations, likely reaching 71 trillion won, below estimates of 72.3 trillion won. The strong performance in the chip division and the positive response to the new Galaxy S24 smartphones contributed to the company's success.

However, Samsung anticipates improved performance in the latter half of the year as demand recovers. The sharp profit drop is largely attributed to a weak foundry business, though memory chip demand is expected to rise.
