Profits fell by 38 per cent year-on-year to 5.84 trillion won (US$4.32 billion), the market leader in memory chips and smartphones from South Korea announced on Tuesday.
Although the semiconductor division reported an operating loss for the third quarter in a row, the loss was lower compared to the previous three months. The company said that a slight rise in demand for Samsung's products had helped the bottom line.
There is also growing recognition in the industry that memory chips have bottomed out. Samsung's sales fell 12 per cent to 67.4 trillion won.-BERNAMA
