Samsung Chalks up Record 154 Tln Won in Sales in 2010
Stock closes above the 1 million won barrier for the first time in the history of the Korean bourse

Samsung Electronics posted a record 154 trillion won in sales in 2010, a 13.4 percent surge over the previous year and 17 trillion won in operating profit in 2010, a 58.3 percent jump.
Riding on these remarkable achievements, Samsung Electronics saw its stock price surpass the 1 million won barrier on Jan. 30, the highest level on the Korea Stock Exchange, for the first time in history. The Samsung Electronics stock closed at 1.01 million won on that day, up 16,000 won or 1.61 percent over the previous day, surpassing the last record high closing price of 998,000 set on Jan. 26.
Releasing its business performance for the fourth quarter of 2010, the Korean electronics giant said they raked in 41.87 trillion won in sales and 3.01 trillion won in operating profit in the fourth quarter of last year. For the year, Samsung reported 154.63 trillion won in sales, 17.30 trillion won in operating profit and 16.15 trillion won in net profit. The figures for the whole of 2010 were higher than their initial estimates of 153.76 trillion won in sales and 17.28 trillion won in operating profit.
The feat was owed to the fact that such mainstay businesses as semiconductors and mobile phones have maintained differentiated competitiveness and widened market shares despite such uncertainties as sagging IT demand caused by the global economic slump and ever-surging competition, Samsung Electronics officials said.
The semiconductor division registered a record 37.64 trillion won in sales and 10.11 trillion won in operating profit thanks to the booming sales of smartphones and tablet PCs and a rise in the demand for memory chips and system LSI (large-scale integration), caused by the launch of the Windows 7 operating system. nw
