Breaking Down the Numbers
K-IFRS framework is the base for Samsung’s Q4 2024 earnings guidance and it covers the midpoints of the ranges of the following estimates:
- Sales: Between 74 trillion and 76 trillion Korean won.
- Operating Profit: Between 6.4 trillion and 6.6 trillion Korean won.
These data showcase Samsung’s proficiency in keeping up strong profits and a good throughput while tech industry route changes appear due to increasing demand and dropping supply.
A Year-Over-Year Comparison
