Examining Samsung Electronics' revenue growth, profitability, debt obligations, and cash flow
Samsung's revenue growth remains positive despite challenging market conditions, indicating resilience in its diversified business model. However, Q1 2025 has shown signs of weakness with a 21% YoY drop in operating profit.
Metric | Value | Assessment |
---|---|---|
Profit Margin | 11.17% | Strong |
Operating Margin | 8.56% | Good |
Return on Assets (ROA) | 4.22% | Moderate |
Return on Equity (ROE) | 9.00% | Good |
Samsung maintains solid profitability metrics, though they have declined from historical peaks due to pressure on memory chip prices and increased competition.
Samsung's debt levels are manageable, with a low debt-to-equity ratio and strong current ratio indicating solid short-term liquidity. The company's financial position remains strong enough to weather temporary downturns.
Samsung generates robust cash flows, providing flexibility for investments, dividends, and potential M&A activity. The substantial cash reserves provide a significant buffer against market volatility.
