Samsung Electronics is likely to say second-quarter profit more than halved when...

SEOUL - Samsung Electronics is likely to say second-quarter profit more than halved when it reports preliminary earnings on Friday, data showed, as a drop in memory chip shipments to China’s embattled Huawei exacerbated a price-squeezing supply glut.

The world’s biggest supplier of DRAM and NAND memory chips is also the world’s largest maker of smartphones, a market where chip client Huawei is second place. Companies worldwide have been forced to restrict business with Huawei to comply with U.S. trade sanctions on a company Washington deems a security risk.

Even so, selling chips brings in most of Samsung’s profit - over two-thirds - and a saturated smartphone market and falling demand from data centers have pulled prices down. On Friday, Samsung is likely to flag a 60% decline in April-June operating profit at 6 trillion won , according to Refinitiv SmartEstimate, which is based on the estimates of 29 analysts, with the estimates of analysts historically more accurate given greater weighting.

Still, in the long run, the good news for Samsung could lie in Huawei’s troubles. If U.S. sanctions remain, Samsung could sell 37 million more smartphones annually, said senior analyst Song Myung-sup at HI Investment & Securities. Moreover, it would likely install its own chips in those handsets, Song said.

I, for one, love my Samsung phone. However, Verizon is being a bunch of dill-holes and can't figure out how to activate it or give out contradictory information amounting to half of a day wasted.

Trump, RNC rake in massive $105 million second-quarter haulPresident Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee raised $105 million in the second quarter of 2019, the RNC announced Tuesday Parscale is still whistling past the graveyard. Given all the lies Trump has told over the past 2 1/2 years, how can we trust this to be true? Sending their propaganda letters to people like my 90 year old mother who thinks she's filling out a 'contest' to win money, with no idea it's the RNC. Duping people, is the way they raise their money. You might want to report on their tactics.
