Investing.com — South Korea\u2019s Samsung Electronics (KS:) flagged a sharp decline in its second-quarter earnings on Friday, hit chiefly by weakening demand in its key memory chips market despite recent production cuts.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s operating profit likely slid to about KRW600 billion ($1 = KRW1,308.39) in the June quarter, from 14.1 trillion won for the same period a year ago, Samsung said in a statement. <\/p>\n

Still, the operating profit figure was slightly above Reuters estimates for a reading of KRW555 billion. <\/p>\n

Sales likely fell to about KRW60 trillion from KRW77.2 trillion won, the world\u2019s largest maker of memory chips and smartphones said. The figures were disclosed as Samsung\u2019s preliminary second-quarter earnings, with the company set to report its full earnings for the quarter on July 27.<\/p>\n

Second-quarter profits were largely flat from the KRW640 billion logged in the first quarter of 2023, and reflect continued headwinds for the company\u2019s key memory chips unit as it grapples with substantially weaker demand. The unit is expected to have reported quarterly losses of between KRW3 trillion and KRW4 trillion won for the quarter, according to Reuters estimates.<\/p>\n

DRAM memory chips – which are used in smartphones and computers, saw their prices tumble over the past year as chip buyers dipped into their existing inventories to avoid buying new chips amid weakening demand for electronics. Memory chips are among Samsung\u2019s biggest revenue generators.<\/p>\n

While this trend is expected to reverse in the coming months, especially as chip inventories run dry and as Samsung and its peers cut production, a substantial recovery in demand appears unlikely amid worsening global economic conditions.<\/p>\n

But Samsung is also working on riding an artificial intelligence-led boom in chip demand, particularly by producing the high bandwidth memory chips used in running AI models.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s smartphone business is expected to have logged a profit during the quarter, remaining among the few bright spots for the company. Samsung is also set to unveil its latest range of foldable phones later in July, well before offerings from rival Apple Inc (NASDAQ:). <\/p>\n

Samsung’s shares fell over 1% in early trade on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
