According to  Top Tech Companies Android Authority, Because of the exploding Galaxy Note 7, business wasn’t really that great for Samsung in 2016. Things will be quite different this year, as the company is expecting to generate an operating profit of 9.9 trillion won or around $8.7 billion in the first quarter of the year alone.

According to the Thomson Reuters survey, market analysts believe that the company will increase its profit by only 5.5 percent next year. The reason for this is that Samsung will bring in a ton of one-time-only money in 2017 as a result of the booming memory chip market. Because of the increased demand for DRAM and NAND chips, prices have been going up, which is why the memory industry will generate 32 percent more money this year than in 2016.

But that will soon change. Next year, the production capacity of memory chips worldwide is expected to increase, which will bring the prices down quite a bit. Therefore, the industry’s revenues will only increase by 3 percent next year. Top Tech Companies

If Samsung wants to maintain its growth, it will have to increase sales of its other products, including smartphones. So far, things are moving in the right direction. Despite the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco that has damaged the company’s reputation, the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are doing extremely well with a new pre-order target of one million units set. Top Tech Companies
