WIKI ANALYSIS
Samsung Electronics is a South Korean technology conglomerate that manufactures consumer electronics, specifically digital media, telecommunication networks, semiconductors, and LCDs. Samsung's Digital Media and Communications division is involved in the manufacture of digital media and communication products, such as televisions (TVs), monitors, printers, air conditioners, refrigerators and washers, as well as cell phones, network systems and computers. Its Device Solution division provides semiconductors and liquid crystal display (LCD) products, consisting of memory chips, hard disc drives (HDDs), system large scale integrated circuit (LSI) products and thin film transistor (TFT) LCD products. Samsung's net sales in 2009 totaled 139.0 trillion Korean Won (KRW), with an operating profit of 11.6 trillion KRW.
Samsung has been faced with greater demand and competition as consumers are increasingly resorting to cell phones, PDAs, smartphones, and portable media players to access audio, video clips, and data all at once. In response, Samsung's Mobile Innovator released the mobile widget software developer kit for its TouchWiz user interface in 2009, which allows developers to create widgets for different Samsung phones.[1] Consumers' expectations and cyclicality in DRAM (memory semiconductors) profitability indicate potential for expansion and new developments.
On April 1, 2010, Samsung completed its merger with Samsung Digital Imaging Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of digital cameras.
Company Overview
Business and Financial Metrics
Second Quarter 2010 Results (ended June 30, 2010)[2]
Samsung Electronics announced revenues of 37.89 trillion Korean won on a consolidated basis for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, a 17 percent increase year-on-year. For the quarter, the company posted net income of 4.28 trillion won. Consolidated operating profit for the quarter was a record 5.01 trillion won, an 88 percent increase year-on-year. The figure tops the previous high of 4.41 trillion won in the first quarter of 2010.
The company’s increased profitability in the second quarter was driven by significant improvements in its components businesses. The Semiconductor Business recorded an operating profit of 2.94 trillion won on sales of 9.53 trillion won, while the LCD Business generated an operating profit of 880 billion won on 7.76 trillion won in sales. Samsung’s set businesses – spanning digital media, IT solutions and telecommunications – also performed well despite increased price competition and uncertain global consumer sentiment.
Strong seasonal demand for core components will drive Samsung’s performance in the third quarter, although increased market supply is also forecast. Samsung forecasts that continued price competition in its set businesses will put downward pressure on profit margins in the third quarter.
Samsung also announced that total capital expenditures for the first half of 2010 reached 9.2 trillion won, representing 51 percent of the total of 18.2 trillion won in capital expenditures planned for 2010.
Fdcr den Ursprfcnglichen Preis TOP in Preis-Leistung, 27. Mai 2009Vona0 a0a0 Rezension bezieht sich auf: Samsung PS 42 A 411 42 Zoll / 107 cm 16:9 HD-Ready Plasma-Fernseher (Elektronik) Habe den A411 vor etwa einem halebn Jahr gekauft. Bisher bin ich sehr zufrieden mit den Gere4t. Das Bild ist bei analogen Kabel TV, sowieso DVD und Blueray sehr gut ffcr ein HD-Ready Gere4t. Der Ton ist leider das einzige Manko daran. Trotzdem 5 Sterne, da man normalerweise bei einem 42 Gere4t externe Lautsprecher sowieso anschliedft. Die Bedienung ist Umfangreich und bei 3 HDMI Einge4ngen muss man auch nicht immer seine HDMI Gere4te umstecken. Externen Chinch Ausgang ist auch vorhanden und nfctzlich falls man mal ein zuse4tzlichen Externen Lautsprecher anschliedfen mf6chte. Im Vergleich zu Panasonic oder Sony Gere4ten steht dieser Samsung in nichts nach.
