This is the first time Samsung Electronics has provided earnings guidance ahead of its quarterly earnings announcement. Samsung indicated that it plans to provide earnings guidance within several days following the end of each quarter in the future.
Samsung believes that growing interest in the company’s quarterly earnings and competing forecasts have led to more confusion in the market ahead of the recent earnings release announcements.
Samsung expects that providing earnings guidance would help not only minimize speculations in the market but also help enhance company transparency and provide investors with a more accurate expectation of the earnings.
Samsung also stressed that the earnings guidance may differ from the earnings announcement as the audit for the period has not yet been completed.
Samsung Electronics plans to announce its earnings for the second quarter on July 24.
