The company will release its full earnings report by the end of this month, which will show the performance of each business division. In its first-quarter results, Samsung did point out that earnings in the semiconductor business were expected to increase in the second quarter. Market analysts in South Korea also believe that the semiconductor business was the driving factor behind Samsung’s massive increase in profit.
On the other hand, Analysts expect that Samsung’s smartphone shipments may have declined compared to Q2 2020. Which analysts believe is due to production disruption in Vietnam because of COVID19 and a significant decline in demand in India.
