Mr Josh 3 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 HONG KONG (CNNMoney) Samsung is on track to report its weakest financial results in recent memory as the company loses ground in the intense battle for smartphone customers. South Korea-based Samsung said Tuesday that it would report operating profit of around 4.1 trillion won ($3.8 billion) for the third quarter -- a 60% decline from the previous year. The result is worse than a--lysts had expected. Third quarter sales were also lower than the previous year, falling 20% to around 47 trillion won ($44 billion). The figures are a preliminary forecast, and Samsung will release an official report in the coming weeks. Samsung shares were up slightly in morning trading in Seoul, but the stock has declined 15% so far this year. The company blamed the weak performance on slow growth and lower operating margins in the smartphone business, where it has lost ground to high-end competitors including Apple. At the other end of the cost spectrum, upstart smartphone makers like China's Xiaomi have stolen market share from Samsung. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
