SEOUL: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said on Friday that fourth-quarter operating profit likely rose 26%, in line with analysts' estimates, as pandemic-driven remote working fuelled sales of chips and display panels.
The South Korean tech giant said operating profit was likely 9 trillion won ($8.24 billion) in the quarter ended December, offsetting weaker smartphone sales and a strong won versus the dollar. That was in line with the 9.1 trillion won analyst forecast by Refinitiv SmartEstimate.
