Samsung forecasts 79 Tr Won sales, 6.6 Tr Won profit in Q1 2025 guidance

Tech giant Samsung Electronics released its earnings guidance for the first quarter of 2025, projecting a robust start to the year. The South Korean company anticipates consolidated sales of approximately 79 trillion Korean won.

In terms of profitability, Samsung forecasts a consolidated operating profit of around 6.6 trillion Korean won for the first quarter.

It's important to note that Korean disclosure regulations mandate that earnings estimates are presented as a median figure. To comply with these regulations, the announced figures represent the midpoint of the following estimated ranges:

• Sales: 78 trillion to 80 trillion Korean won
• Operating Profit: 6.5 trillion to 6.7 trillion Korean won

This guidance suggests a positive trajectory for the company, building upon its performance in previous periods. For comparison, Samsung's consolidated figures based on K-IFRS for the fourth quarter of 2024 were 75.79 trillion won in sales and 6.49 trillion won in operating profit. In the first quarter of 2024, the company reported sales of 71.92 trillion won and an operating profit of 6.61 trillion won.

While the official earnings report will provide a more detailed analysis, this preliminary guidance indicates that Samsung has maintained a strong level of sales and profitability in the initial months of 2025. Investors and industry analysts will be closely watching the full earnings release for insights into the key drivers behind this performance and the company's outlook for the remainder of the year.
