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

- Sales: 79.1 trillion won
- Operating Profit: 9.18 trillion won
Q4 2023:
- Sales: 67.78 trillion won
- Operating Profit: 2.82 trillion won

In which case, it is special. These results reveal the strength of Samsung in strategically strong sectors such as semiconductors, displays, and consumer electronics where the company focuses efficient resources.
