The guidance report shows that the company’s first-quarter revenue was 44.9 billion dollars. However, Samsung has not provided the break down of its earnings. The full report with divisions is expected at the end of the month.

According to analysts, Samsung’s semiconductor business has bloomed in the short term, mainly due to the extra demand as a consequence of masses working from home.

As far as the Korean tech giant’s consumer electronics business is concerned, it will take a hit inevitably as the aftermath of retail closures, supply chain disruption, and financial uncertainty. Even though this does not reflect in the Q1 earnings, it will show up in future reports depending on how long the pandemic remains.
