<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Samsung Electronics on Tuesday unveiled a record first quarter sales forecast and said it saw a better-than-expected performance for profits, beating market expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The firm is the flagship subsidiary of South Korean giant Samsung Group, by far the largest of the family-controlled conglomerates that dominate business in Asia&#8217;s fourth-largest economy.<\/p>\n<p>The tech giant said in a regulatory filing that its January-March operating profits were expected to rise to 6.6 trillion won ($4.5 billion), down 0.15% from a year earlier but up nearly 2% on the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p>This was almost 34% higher than the average estimate, according to South Korea&#8217;s Yonhap <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> agency, which cited its own financial data firm.<\/p>\n<p>Sales were also seen increasing to 79 trillion won, a near 10% jump from a year earlier, marking the highest first-quarter figure on record and the second-highest quarterly revenue ever.<\/p>\n<p>The company did not disclose its net income or the detailed earnings of its business divisions.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement came a day after a stock market rout in Asia and Europe sparked by China&#8217;s retaliation against steep US tariffs and President Donald Trump&#8217;s refusal to back down despite the turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>Experts warn the move could also impact Samsung, as more than half of its smartphones are made in Vietnam, which now faces a 46% US duty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Samsung&#8217;s consensus-beating first-quarter operating profit implies its popular product offerings, such as Galaxy smartphones, could weather a tough business environment, when combined with strong cost control capabilities,&#8221; Bloomberg Intelligence analysts said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yet the pace of profit growth might slow in the second quarter given most of its smartphones are made in Vietnam, which subjects them to US import tariffs. A recovery in memory chip prices is a bright spot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                        <!-- TechX - News - In-article --><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bright_spot\"><\/span>Bright spot?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some analysts speculated the high figures were partly down to record sales of the new Galaxy S25 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> phone, which was released in February.<\/p>\n<p>The gadget became the fastest ever Galaxy device to reach one million units sold in the shortest time\u2014within 21 days.<\/p>\n<p>Others pointed to strong demand for server DRAM\u2014mostly used in data centers\u2014which offset slowing prices for more conventional high-end chips, TrendForce analyst Tom Hsu told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>There was &#8220;strong purchase momentum&#8221; from some US and Chinese cloud service providers, who were investing in their data centers, he said.<\/p>\n<p>But &#8220;with the US government imposing substantial tariffs, leading to a potential for economic uncertainties,&#8221; demand is likely to fall, which could hit future prices, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Because of US rules limiting the export of AI chips to China, and China&#8217;s push to use more local suppliers, fewer orders are going to companies like Samsung, TrendForce analyst Joanne Chiao told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because of this, Samsung Foundry&#8217;s sales are expected to go down in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the previous quarter,&#8221; said Chiao.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, &#8220;geopolitical factors&#8221; are making it harder for some of Samsung&#8217;s Chinese customers to use advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is dampening overall demand momentum,&#8221; said Chiao and as a result, slowing Samsung&#8217;s total sales growth in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Shares in Samsung rose more than 2% in Seoul on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The firm said it had no comment when contacted by AFP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2025 AFP\n                                            <\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>\n                                                <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                Samsung forecast beats market expectations for first quarter (2025, April 8)<br \/>\n                                                retrieved 8 April 2025<br \/>\n                                                from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/news\/2025-04-samsung-quarter.html\n                                            <\/p>\n<p>\n                                            This document is subject to copyright.
