They still made around $1/2 BILLION.

I love how every headline about their earnings focuses on the drop from before and not on the actual number they made.

Boo-fucken-hoo the record profits they were making the last few years couldn’t be sustained forever. Oh noes!1!!!

Maybe if it was revenue. Such a drop in profits could be from many ordinary business operations like expansion

It states in the article that it is from less than expected sales, no?

No. Not at all.

If a company made one penny last quarter, and 10,000,000 this quarter, then their profit is up 10 billion percent. It’s a stupid headline.

Is it your belief that Samsung made hundreds of billions of dollars mysteriously in on huge surge?

If a company did that it would be extremely newsworthy, as a 1,000,000,000,000x profit increase.

I don’t see your point.

If the same company made 10,000,000 last quarter and then made 500,000 this quarter that would also be newsworthy… as you know, a 95% drop in profits.
