Samsung Electronics flags 5.2% rise in Q2 profit
South Korean telecom giant Samsung Electronics on Friday flagged a 5.2 percent rise in second quarter operating profit from a year earlier, missing analyst estimates.
Operating profit is expected to come to 14.8 trillion won ($13.2 billion) for the April-June period, higher than the 14.07 trillion won in the same period in 2017, but down from the record 15.64 trillion won of the previous quarter.
