S. Korea earnings to reflect poor economy


SEOUL: With South Korea’s economy on the brink of recession and prices for its key electronics exports in the doldrums, companies led by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Kookmin Bank are expected to report gloomy second-quarter numbers this month. 

Except for top steel maker POSCO, whose profit is expected to treble, most South Korean companies are likely to see their earnings flop or remain flat, analysts say.
