Global events continue to affect all companies, from small to large. Samsung may be one of the companies affected by the tariffs applied to imported products announced by the US in recent months and the increased logistics costs. According to what is being said about the technology giant preparing to announce its Q2 profit, Samsung’s profit has decreased significantly compared to the first quarter. Here are the details.

Samsung’s Q2 profit may be lower than the first quarter

Samsung, one of the technology giants that announced its profit and loss status in all four quarters of the year, announced a profit of 6.7 trillion KRW, or approximately $4.4 billion, in the first quarter of the year, which was a significantly higher rate compared to previous quarters. However, it seems that the situation will not be the same after the events in the second quarter of 2025.

According to research and statements made by an analyst, Samsung’s profit in the second quarter of 2025 is expected to be $0.7 billion less than the first quarter. It is stated that the company, which is likely to make 15 percent less profit compared to the previous one, is mostly affected by US customs tariffs.

According to the announced reports, the reasons for the decrease in profit are the decrease in profit rates on phones, televisions, and household goods due to customs tariffs, while other reasons are Samsung’s delay in supplying NVIDIA with its 5th generation 12-layer high-bandwidth memory HBM3E and the decline in the semiconductor market.

Although the situation seems bad, it is possible that the global situation may change and it may rise to its previous profit rate again in the 3rd quarter. In addition, Samsung, which is preparing to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Flip 7 FE, Watch 8, and Watch Ultra 2 models with the event to be held on July 9, may increase its profit with these devices.
