Samsung's second-quarter profit increased by 53%, but its chip inventory was almost exhausted


According to a CBNC report, Samsung Electronics said that despite the decline in smartphone sales, due to rising chip prices and strong market demand for chips, operating profit in the second quarter increased by 53%, exceeding market expectations. Preliminary statistics have increased by 33% over the first quarter. This data reflects the soaring demand for chips in the market. Due to the large-scale increase in consumer demand for electronic products, the chip inventory is almost exhausted.

The world's largest manufacturer of memory chips and smartphones said that its profit for the quarter ended June 30 is expected to be 12.5 trillion won ($11 billion). If this is true, this will be the largest profit for the tech giant in the second quarter since 2018.

Some analysts said: Due to the strong price of mobile DRAM memory chips and the strong demand for the display business, the profit in the third quarter is expected to be higher. In the second quarter, the profit of Samsung's chip division may increase by one-fifth or more over the same period last year, thanks to strong memory chip prices and consumer electronics and data center customer demand.

The reason why Samsung’s chip shipments are higher than expected and profits have increased significantly. Analysts said that this may be due to the increase in the output of cutting-edge 1z nano DRAM chips produced by ASML’s extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines, making the first Quarterly costs have fallen. In addition, the operation of a factory in Texas that was hit by a storm returned to normal, which also improved the profitability of Samsung's chip foundry manufacturing and logic chip design business.

And due to the impact of the epidemic, smartphone shipments have declined. It is understood that Samsung’s smartphone shipments dropped from approximately 76 million units in the first quarter to approximately 59 million units from April to June. The main reason for this was the slowdown in sales of flagship models launched in the first quarter. The reason is because of the outbreak of new crown pneumonia in India and Vietnam and the limited supply of chips, the situation is expected to improve in the second half of the year. Samsung said that revenue is estimated to increase by 19% from the same period last year to 63 trillion won.

In the financial report released by Samsung, the most interesting thing is how much progress its chip foundry business has made in terms of competitiveness, and the status quo of foundry customers and orders. The other is that Samsung expects changes in the profitability of memory chips, because it is said that competitors like Micron are closing the technology gap with Samsung. Last month, Micron Technology announced that its quarterly profit exceeded Wall Street expectations, and it predicted that its current quarterly revenue was higher than expected.
